    Yes, I'm surprised at this as well. I even stopped the imaging some seconds 
    earlier, to dim the lights in the tracking scope so
    that I was able to watch better if I could see any flashes, but none....
    How much km are you north of me. Should it be the observing angle?
    I'm at (50°48'N 5°54'E)

    Ralf, I am suprised by this, as on the same pass (!) it definitely was not
    stable for me: not visually and not photographically. It was definitely 
    rapidly
    flashing...!
