    Best pass of NOAA 7 (12553) recently -- more than 16 consecutive
    one-power flashes (though none was brighter than maybe +1):
    
    81- 59 A 01-06-20 02:35:06   EC  146.0 0.3  16  9.13  +2->inv
    
    Accelerating Atlas Centaur, FltSatCom 1 Rk (12908):
    
    78- 16 C 01-06-20 04:47:21.2 EC  438.2 0.4  32 13.69  
    
    For comparisons, in the last several nights NOSS 2-1 trio has 
    been going south while NOSS 2-3 triplets have been northbound.  
    NOSS 2-1 consistently have been much brighter than NOSS 2-3
    regardless of phase angles.
    
    Gorizont 16 was still easy to find a couple of nights ago and
    is well-positioned for all of the USA.
    
    Observing location was BCRC site, 30.3157N, 97.8663W, 280m.
