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...

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.
