Heads up on Orion 3 -- The first pass last night was another spectacular, but I wasn't able to find it with binoculars on the second pass. (Maybe the super bright flashes are only with certain early-evening passes -- smaller negative solar elevation?) I didn't even have a prediction for the early, spectacular pass last night due to it not making my magnitude cut-off parameter. So if you see a dozen or so -4 to -6 flashes at an interval of about every 21.7 seconds in a low-inclination object, check for Orion 3!
