Some obs from a few days ago:

After a week a few bright spots appeared between the clouds.
Within half an hour the clouds got thicker and observing was over.

80- 93 B 97-12-20 17:01      LB                       S, mag 4
Observed it as an UNID, but with Skymap and Allsat.tle identified

87- 49 B 97-12-20 16:51:38   LB   76.6 0.5   2 38.3   AA, mag 5->7
97- 64 B 97-12-20 16:56:50   LB   91.3 0.5   6 15.2   AA, mag 3->7
Nice flasher, but period is irregular:
14.05 13.50 18.77 17.87 12.78 14.29 = 91.26 sec.

With this three observations my yeartotal is now 1271 obs; just two
over last years total. The weather is not too good and the predictions
are not good either. Perhaps after the weekend a few better days (and
nights !!) will come to end this year.
