    Molniya 1-53 (82-015A, 13070) has been observed flashing very 
    nicely, including very fast double maxima, every 6.54 or 6.55 
    seconds, more or less.  Last night I found it just before 4:40 
    UTC at about declination -1 and was still able to see it, 
    although it was fading, after 4:46 UTC at about declination +10.
    
    Good old Superbird A (89-041A, 20040) flashed last night from 
    about 3:36:43 until 3:43:32, RA 16:51-58 (2000).
