    Hmmm..
    
    I am going to have to try one of these..
    
    A Question.. Is there a way to predict flaring from my location in Morgan
    Hill, CA... Or do I just have to do some math and look for them near
    opposition???
    
    I really need a satellite mentor.. I watch and watch many passes every
    night.. But how to time them?? There are too many.. I need some sort of
    organization and plan...

    Oh Ya !
    
    At 6:43 UTC ( Aug 5 ) Galaxy 11 ( 26038 ) is flaring oh so bright:)
    
    It's roughly 5th magnitude.
    
    Capturing flare, on wide feild setup, which is pointed at Milstar 6. So
    Galaxy 11 is off to the side.
    
    Also capturing through the scope. 
    
    I have 2 video camera's for awhile, so I can have twice the fun at night:)
    
    This Boeing HS702 has the same type of antenna's as Intelsat 1R.
