    Hi All,
    
    Want to thank Steve LaLumondiere for giving me a heads-up
    on Gorizont 4.  I tracked it last night for over half an
    hour, though it was not an easy target for binoculars
    (flashes of about mag 7).  Measured period was 148.47 +/- .02
    seconds, in close agreement with Steve's measurement.
    PPAS report follows:
    
    Gorizont 4, #11841, 80-049A
    Observed from Newport Coast, CA (COSPAR #8733)
    [33.6028 N, 117.8263 W, 200m]
    
    80-049A 00-09-07 05:28:54.2  RM 1930.08 0.25 13 148.47  mag +7 -> inv
