    I hope I haven't messed up the PPAS format too badly:
    89-004 A 03-10-01 01:17:27.29JDG 952.2 0.3  26 36.62 F'fF'f mag+4.0,+9.0->inv
    
    I'm attempting to describe an object flashing every 36.6
    seconds with the brightness of the alternating flashes +4.0
    and +9.0 mag.
    
    Apparent the rotation has increased in speed over the last
    3.5 years.

    89- 04 A 00-02-07 00:57:02.6 JDG 653.6 0.3   8 81.70  +5.0->inv
    89- 04 A 00-02-09 01:21:24.5 JDG 980.5 0.3  12 81.71  +5.5->inv
    
    It has become clear to me is that my obs from last Saturday evening was 
    actually some bright half period flashes.   The PPAS report should change 
    from:
    89- 04 A 00-02-06 02:43:10.3 JDG 817.2 0.3  20 40.86  +4.0->inv

    81.72=40.86+40.86    "
