Started following the lead craft at Mizar / Alcor. It promptly hit mag 2, then dropped to mag 7.5 shortly thereafter. It was never steady up until it neared shadow entry. Speaking of shadow entry, I followed the leader until near shadow entry, then went backwards to find the other 2 components. It was easy to find them in the right spot in OBSREDUCE, so I *ASSUME* they are the D and E objects.. And the -4 flare from D was blue and was a perfect match for Venus or a middle of the road Iridium. If there was an actual Iridium in the area, it could have been what I saw.. I did not double check.
