Thanks for the private replies . With your help I'll eventually begin to get the hang of this thing . Figures ... Heavens-above did list the sat as SPOT 5 and gave an excellent drawing of it's pass but in my haste I missed it . No flare info though , but I suppose that information is not always available or known (no idea) . Also , Satflare _DID_ show the SPOT 5 after I increased the Mag parameter from 5 to 6 . Heavens-above showed Mag as between 2.7 and 3.5 , which I think is too high . I lost sight of the sat after it flared , but I can easily see big Dipper's Megrez (~mag 3) and even Mizar's tiny companion , Alcor (~ 4.0) . Thanks for your time, gc -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
