This is just to mention that Cosmos 1341 also is an Oko: 1 13080U 82016A 03259.97943119 .00000551 00000-0 10000-3 0 4182 2 13080 65.3741 235.7853 7004271 164.3078 240.6014 2.00586406 68140 I wonder how many of those are now flashing. It was flashing earlier each night, and also the flash episode was ending farther away (i.e., south of) Polaris nightly. Circumstances including weather have prevented observing the last three nights, and soon it will be in evening twilight here, left only to those east of here for a while longer. Flash period was about 12.90 to 13.00 last Saturday evening (Sept. 21 UTC). It was not hard to see with 10x50 binoculars for 20 to 30 minutes, even at a range of about 13,000 km. Hope to get a chance to see it and some flaring geosats tonight!
