Observations of satellites with (more or less) periodic brightness variations. The reported times are those of the last timed maximum. 7 x 50 binoculars used. Sky was excellent but I had to stop while observing 88- 6 A due to clouds coming in rapidly. yy-nnncc yy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.s ooo sss.s s.s nnn ff.fff comments 65- 34 A 07-09-08 01:36:02.0 BD 105.8 0.5 42 2.52 F; +7.5->inv; 3) 65- 65 C 07-09-07 23:35:10.2 BD 26.0 F; +7.0->inv; 1) 88- 5 A 07-09-08 02:27:19.5 BD 81.3 0.2 12 6.77 A; +5.5->inv 88- 6 A 07-09-08 02:40:45.1 BD 143.5 0.5 4 35.9 F; +5.2->8.0 94- 61 A 07-09-07 23:25:22.1 BD 49.1 0.5 3 16.4 A'M'; +6.3->inv 94- 78 B 07-09-08 00:27:13.2 BD 94.6 0.3 34 2.78 A; +6.5->inv 96- 71 B 07-09-08 01:22:15.5 BD 153.5 1.0 16 9.6 A; +4.5->inv; 2) 05- 48 C 07-09-08 02:18:18.0 BD 124.2 0.2 9 13.8 A; +5.3->7.5 07- 29 B 07-09-08 00:33:55.8 BD 66.4 0.3 90 0.738 A; +3.0->inv 1) 65- 65 C: brief flashes; difficult to determine a period.
