    This evening I had the pleasure of watching Iridium 94 steadily gain on 
    Iridium 58 in binoculars and then have both of them simultaneously flare 
    just before 94 was going to overtake 58.  58 flared at around -7 as 
    predicted.  94 was not as bright as predicted.
    
    This partially makes up for the ISS orbit adjustment just a week before I 
    would have had a solar transit at my home.
    
    The ups and downs of sat obs.
    
    Best,
    
    Ray
