I presume tonight was 16-04.

My own obs of the last days are:

>93- 61 A 99-04-15 19:39:58   LB  121.0 0.2   8 15.13  FF,mag 1->inv,sm 3(5)
>Timings: 14.53 15.38 15.04 15.26 15.32 15.22 30.26

>93- 61 A 99-04-18 20:32:25   LB  148.0 0.2  10 14.80  FF,mag 1->inv,ssm,4

I only timed the brightest flashes. There were most of the time 3 fainter
flashes
inbetween the bright ones. This gives a period of 3.78 and 3.70 seconds

These obs are not cosistend with eachother.
We need more obs!
