    The object I saw 84 sec before the Michael Waterman 14.98 orbit yesterday
    (almost) matched my adjusted elset today.
    At 20:02:59.5 UT it was at RA 13.454, dec +55.07 flashing with a 5-6
    sec.period but several maxima, variation 1.5-2 magnitudes (which I didn't
    see on the zenithal pass yesterday)
