During a lull in sat passes, i was looking at the Moon when just above it
(Azim 90 degrees, Elev 37 degrees) i spotted a flash. I remembered that
Iridium 79 #25470 was due by at that time and indeed it was Ir 79. I counted
9 flashes from it, magnitude range from +3 to -7, most were in the negative
range including some while Iridium 79 itself was visible, magnitude 3.5
(est). I don't have any timings but if you like flashers, Iridium 79 is a
good one.
