    Notes:
    1) Not regular cycles, could not detect the pattern.
    2) Steady from 1:12:52 until 1:14:47, then 1 period seen before lost in N.
    3) Enigmatic object, seemed to be sets of 3 or 4 quick flashes about 3s apart.
    4) Timed on sharp minima.

    Forgot to mention HST flare Feb 24, 1:57:02 to mag +1 in Tulsa (8336)
