Observations of satellites with (more or less) periodic brightness variations. All observations by 7 x 50 binoculars except when marked "1x", meaning naked eye observation. The reported times are those of the last timed maximum. Sky was good. Some moonlight. yy-nnncc yy-mm-dd hh:mm:ss.s ooo sss.s s.s nnn ff.fff comments 82-118 A 07-11-21 17:35:37.4 BD 76.3 0.5 4 19.1 Irr; +4.5->inv; 1) 82-118 A 07-11-21 19:15:27.0 BD 55.5 0.5 3 18.5 A; +5.5->8.0 83- 22 A 07-11-21 17:29:27.8 BD 41.0 0.2 7 5.9 FA'; +3.0->inv; ssm 85- 94 G 07-11-21 17:59:19.4 BD 58.9 1.0 3 19.6 A; +6.5->8.0 86- 73 A 07-11-21 18:14:09.6 BD 175.2 0.5 6 29.2 M; +6.0->inv; 5) 97- 56 C 07-11-21 17:53:54 BD One +1.5 flare; neo 99- 57 A 07-11-21 18:28:36.2 BD 172.1 0.4 34 5.06 +1.2->inv; 6); 1x 00- 33 D 07-11-21 17:16:23.5 BD 154.5 0.2 32 4.82 M=>A; +3.9->inv; 2) 07- 27 B 07-11-21 18:34:28.4 BD 59.9 5 1 60 A; +1.8->3.3; 1x 07- 29 B 07-11-21 17:42:45 BD 51 0.5 40 1.28 A; +2.8->inv; 3); 1x 07- 38 B 07-11-21 17:44:40 BD 93 0.5 60 1.55 A; +5.0->inv; 3) 07- 53 B 07-11-21 18:05:04.4 BD 27.1 0.1 30 0.90 F; +6.5->inv; 4) 1) different times between maxima; difficult to determine a flash period. Maxima were counted with following intervals: 18.46 (12.22 7.22) 16.62 (11.83 9.94) 2) M=>A: flat maxima evolving to round maxima. 3) Reconstructed from voice recording due to wrong stopwatch handling 4) Presumably hp. 5) different times between maxima; difficult to determine a flash period. Maxima were counted with following intervals: 22.77 30.54 56.58(2max?) 29.04 36.26 6) Excellent transit. Best maxima +1.2. Flash pattern between F and A. Maxima became fainter the more the transit progressed. Then binoculars were needed. (South-Northwest transit). A bit reddish color.
