Its maxima are broad, so it's not easy to know when to click the stopwatch. Here's what I got from two different evenings, 59 and 57 seconds, with four cycles each night: 63- 47 A 02-02-28 01:29:28.6 EC 234.9 6.0 4 59 mag +3.5->inv 63- 47 A 02-03-04 02:13:29.9 EC 228.4 8.0 4 57 mag +3.0->inv Mike McCants found some flaring geosynchs last night. Two of them, two PanAmSats I think, were very close together. He also recovered the Milstar 5 Centaur (27169, 02-001B) after three weeks. STS-109 & HST coming in a few minutes, followed a couple of minutes later by ISS.
