    Since I under cloud, I am using the slooh telescope, to see which retired geo sat's might be
    flashing nicely, ie short time between flashes.
    
    Well Intelsat 504 ( 13083 ) looks very good to me.
    
    Look for a small line looking object, in the image.

    Can't tell what it's flash period is, based on the captures of it. But it looks like a somewhat
    short period, the type I like.
    
    I plan on observing it, when I have a clear sky. That's hopefully tommorow.
