Subject: Re : Gorizont 23

Hi all,

observed Gorizont 23 again yesterday just before clouds came in :
May 12, 1999, between 21h06m 7.4s and 22h09m19.2s UT with
a mean period of about 50.5607 +- 0.0008 between 21h18 and
22h09m.

I observed the flash before and after this predicted one, averaging over
some other flashes I should have observed a flash
around 21:18:45.7 +- 0.2s UT.

So my slightly higher period (50.5605 at 21h18m) is not completely
fitting with the somewhat earlier predicted flash.

If necessary, I can provide a list of all my timings,
