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. -- Greetings and clear skies; merry X-mas - happy New Year Leo Barhorst Alkmaar The Netherlands 52.65 North 4.47 East 3 m ASL Every day I wonder about what I see in the sky
