Another splendid night for observing. As I had a day off from work today I could observe all night. 00- 6 B 01-05-10 21:40:07 LB 309.3 0.2 21 14.73 AA, 4->i Timings: 14.29 14.62 13.53 15.18 15.18 14.21 14.91 14.79 14.57 14.94 15.53 14.42 14.03 16.27(late) 12.96 15.64 14.80 13.57(early) 16.12 14.23 15.52 sec.

Bjoern Gimle has done an extensive analysis of my recent obs of this rocket. He conclues that the real period has to be around 20 sec in order to give the minimum of residals. Only some random timing-errors and a slight synodic effect remain in that case. 96- 4 B 01-05-10 22:55:47 LB 261.6 0.2 26 10.06 AA, 4->i Timings: 9.73 9.77 10.51 9.56 10.08 10.10 10.59 9.28 10.55 10.21 10.06 9.65 10.34 9.70 10.62 9.87 11.20 8.54 10.74 10.02 10.10 9.87 11.36 8.74 10.33 10.10 sec.
