Hi Alberto,

On 10 and 11 April 2016 from the southern Alps I observed the 2016-023-B
rocket till eclipse too ; both passes were same as yours !
I photographed it using a wide angle objective of 28mm on a Canon EOS 6D.

From my location the rocket was nicely flashing during both passes showing
a range of about 4 magnitudes ; from the photos I derived both times a
14-second photometric period, not much accurate - say to one second.
On 10 April the rocket track is still visible on the photo at 19h37m04s
(very dim through some clouds) and on 11 April till 19h23m48s (clear sky).

Regards

Alain Figer

Southern Alps : 44.573 N ; 6.682 E ; 1850 m a.s.l.
