The good flasher Ir 85 98-66 C was predicted to pass az/el 38/20 04:40:42 (near Deneb). It was going N-S, so it doesn't explain the first sighting. -- bjorn.gimle@tietotech.se (office) -- -- b_gimle@algonet.se (home) http://www.algonet.se/~b_gimle -- > As i was waiting for Iridium 32 to flare to -8, i noticed another object > flare at -4 approx 8 deg below Vega. It remained visble long enough to see > that it's track was from around Az 110 deg going to Az 350 or so. I couldn't > accurately time it but a rough time was 04:38:00 6 May UTC +/- 30 sec.
