    Hi Bram,
    On 20 Feb 2012, I decided to take a series of photos of 2005-48C from your list quoted below.
    From 22 photos of the same field, of 4 seconds duration each, I got the satellite on 5 of them giving 3 consecutive maxima. (times centered at 18h57.7 UTC)
    Maxima were distant respectively from 32 and 33 seconds. The corresponding period, as 32.5s (accurate to 1 second), fits rather well yours of 24.9 s derived ten days earlier.
