    Last night the neirbour came over, to watch sat passes with me. A rare night I was setup outside, as most nights it either cloudy are the bugs are bad.
    
    There was a prediction for a -3 iridium flare from Iridium 53 ( 25173 )
    according to heavens above.
    
    Well we watched it, and while it flared up, it didn't even get as bright as vega :(
    
    So 2 thumbs down, for it.
    
    Kevin
