The hot period at 1255 was indeed 5m50s. Mastiff appeared to be 2-3 feet
for much of the duration, and India was completely covered. This was the
first hot period after the one Scott saw -- Bijou was mostly dead during
the intervening hours.
Weak hot periods occurred hourly therefter:
1410 d=3m50s
1515 d=3m02s
1613 d=2m05s
1715
1836 d=1m52s
Grotto started at 1713 and was still i.e. at 2030.
