There's something I don't understand about this. Are you saying I have just
gotten unlucky and that they thing is at near a constant magnitude most of
the time and just dips down every one or two days?

Every piece of data we have has the thing changing brightness constantly
showing a dimmest-to-brightest time of about 1.5 hours. This is what makes
me lean on a ~3 hour period. It is certainly possible that you are right but
the hump at the beginning of my second day of observations looked to me like
the end of a rise to maximum and not just flicker near the maximum.

It looks like we might be clear again tonight so I'm going to try to grab
some data starting as early in the twilight as I can so try to solve the
mystery!

One more thing folks: beat me up! I can take it. I appreciate the input that
Arne and the rest of you hard-asses have given me. ;) I feel very lucky to
have your attention at all!
