Despite less than ideal viewing conditions, high thin clouds, i was able to
see Iridium 27 'strobe' again. There were 2 flashes about 5 seconds apart,
then none the more due east it got of my location. Even though the sky was
more 'clearer' to the east, i could see a few stars but i could not see
Iridium 27. Once it got to the NE the flashes returned, 3 this time and then
no more. Even with the poor conditions, the 'strobes' were easy to see.
Perhaps others will get a better look at it.
