Be aware that the magnitude of Iridium flares is VERY location sensitive, which is why I say on my web pages "enter your exact location in latitude and longitude (preferably within 0.01 degree of latitude and longitude, or about 1 kilometer)." The 14 Jul 20:49:42 flare that Rick lists as magnitude -5 was predicted as magnitude 0 for the location of my house in the East Valley, and the 16 Jul 22:12:45 flare didn't even show up in the list! My web site also says "the orbits do change over time, so be sure to download a fresh prediction within a day or two of when you plan to observe." I've noticed if I use a prediction that's older than that, the magnitude can be way off -- this depends very critically on the orientation of the spacecraft (and thus the angle of the antenna). --Joe Rick Tejera wrote: How about this one: 14 Jul 20:49:42 -5 56=B0 83=B0 (E ) 9.0 km (W) -8 Iridium 12 Or this one on Monday: 16 Jul 22:12:45 -7 25=B0 62=B0 (ENE) 0.6 km (W) -7 Iridium 42 -- See message header for info on list archives or unsubscribing, and please send personal replies to the author, not the list.
