Mike Waterman has observed Gorizont 27 (92-082A, 22245) flashing every 83.3 seconds to magnitude +5. It's slowly drifting to the west from night to night. GORIZONT 27 1 22245U 92082A 04061.90306672 .00000029 00000-0 00000+0 0 5840 2 22245 7.0525 62.2011 0011525 175.2294 254.4463 1.00202794 45576 Interestingly, last October Rainer Kracht observed it with his Mintron camera and apparently did not see any variation. But it was a very moonlit night with some clouds, and most likely it was just that the angles were wrong at the time: http://satobs.org/seesat/Oct-2003/0052.html As the Moon brightens, I expect the sky to clear here. The gibbous to full Moon drives clouds away.
