The skies cleared late last night so I attempted to spot Iridium 20.
I saw two -3 flashes about 1 second apart but that was all. At 23:39:10 UT.
Looking at the quicksat output that would have been nearly at culmination.
I may have missed a previous flash whilst finding the sat but there were no
flashes visible afterwards.
