You can find a graph of the Semi Major Axis of this one in Flash 99. From the graph of the flashing period or the table above you can see that we observed it while it started accelerating! Paul Maley saw it with 34 seconds on Dec 23. Dec 24, it was seen by Kurt Jonckheere and Michel Van de Putte (probably Michel counted secundary max, meaning a period of 24s). Three days later the period had continued to go down faster and faster. Just before its visibility period ended Paul could spot it with a period of only 6 seconds! Now it is going up nicely again.
