Spent the weekend in the Anza-Borrego area. I just printed the
Heavens-Above predictions for Borrego Springs & headed out.

3/24 an unexpected pleasure; an unpredicted pass of Lacrosse 2. I guess
it changed orbit recently. Anyway, it flared to mag 0 as it culminated.

3/25 saw a good daytime Iridium flare near sunset. Nothing subtle about
this one! Good clear sky.
After sunset saw more sats from Blair Valley.
Cosmos 1953 flared to mag 2 briefly.
Ir 12 flared as predicted, then gave a second flare later, 15 degress
along track, to the same mag.

Best, Mark
