And lucky again. In between rainshowers it cleared long enough for observation of Superbird A. I started looking for it several minutes early in order to catch the first flash. At the expected time I saw and timed a faint flash just souyhwest of Procyon at RA=07:45 d=+4 degrees. I could follow it for just over 6 minutes. Yesterday I could see 38 flashes, now just 34 (1 not timed afterwards). The sky was very clear with just a smaal cloudpatch after the 2nd flash.
