It is wellknown that tumbling Iridiums are flashing nicely! To give ANY
additional value to the observers, the report should include pass details,
like culmination az/el or location of flashes.

Negative mag. flashes can be used to determine spin axis, if sufficient obs
with time to about a second, or position to one degree, are collected over a
few weeks.
