This was a southbound 73 degree elevation pass, east of the zenith.

I was just looking naked eye for a possible flare since the solar arrays 
seem large enough.

At roughly 01:02:25 UT on 7 February 2022, I did see a flare.  I did not
get the duration and the specifics below have at least a five second 
uncertainty.   It was of a multi-second duration.

Azimuth 165 degrees, elevation 55 degrees.

RA 3:45.5  (hours:minutes), declination 04:29.6 (degrees:minutes)
RA and Dec obtained from the position at the stated time using Skymap.

Location:  104.5614 W, Latitude 38.9478 N, 2073 meters.

Sun almost 8 degrees below the horizon.

Magnitude roughly that of Aldeberan.
