    If I read Rob's June message correctly, the axis is now at 20:07; -6.0
    My model gives for Copenhagen the phase shift at RA 05:49, dec. -3.0 on
    Aug.29 and the peak times at 03:17 and 03:20 UT, with the phase shift
    in-between.
    (Too bright sky, at least for me)
    
    The location of the flashes changes of course about +0.15 degrees for each
    degree S of Copenhagen, but just -0.02 degrees in RA (?).
    
    Each day, the shift in RA is about -00:03:30 in RA, and +1 min in time.
    
    (Please correct me if I am wrong, Rob!)
    
    This is the way I prefer it - knowing where the flashes will be, and running
    my predictions for that area.
