Sirko,
I don't think this is comparable. You have lot of comparison stars for the
magnitude, but no means to compare te duration with except the 'inner clock'.
Personally, I found estimating angular speeds in deg/s much easier (and more
accurate comparing with other people) than estimating durations.
