    elset was getting a little stale at +19 days.
    it appeared ontrak and about 3.1 s early.
    it seemed to have a regular flash period of about
    1 s, but I was not exactly timing it for flash,
    (I need another lesson from Ed :)
    went from about +6.5 to +4.0 
    
    btw the new usa 159 r was NOT in the vicinity of OIG elset 
    1 26881U 0133B    01226.28993968  .00000349  00000-0  00000+0 0    27

    or it was very faint for a supposedly bright rocket as I was
    seeing to +7.8 at 0149:30 UT in the twilight -9.5 el, and I did 
    not see it -30 s +90 s of prediction.  I know I should have more
    patience, but the other night I looked -5 min +5 min and all I 
    got was a sore neck.
