    > On Aug 13 I timed 52 flashes during 112 periods of 3.006 seconds, on average.
    > The synodic effect was smaller than on my previous observations (because it
    was
    > a low pass) and opposite in sign (because it was in the W). Around culmination
    > (38 deg WNW, in or near cycle #20) the period was about 3.006; after about
    cycle
    > #60 3.014 s.
    >
    > It was difficult after culmination, because there appeared to be multiple
    > maxima, at least once per period.
    >
    > The final 10 flashes (cycle 95-114) are definitely from a different surface
    than
    > the previous primary and secondary flashes. They are very close to
    half-periods,
    > but around 0.4 s earlier than the previous ones, which show about 0.1 s
    > asymmetry, and again close to 3.006 s period !
