Tonight I saw a -2 iridium flare that was about 30 degrees above the SSE horizon. It was one that was pretty late as far as iridium flares go. It seemed to brighten more slowly that what I am used to seeing. It also barely moved. Being quite ignorant of the geometry of these occurrences, can someone tell me if there are times when one can expect the flare to be more gradual and expect the satellite to move more slowly. Like, are the later ones more apt to be this way? Thanks.
