    Dear all
    Today observed Iridium 57. It appeared sharp at predicted time. But  1. It
    appeared at about 80 deg. Azimuth against predicted azimuth of 102 deg for
    my site. The altitude was correct.      2. The brightness appeared to be
    about -4 to -5 as against the prediction of -8.
    The appearance was for just 5 sec. I will let you know the results of my
    photograph tomorrow. For me it appeared little reddish.
    Clear skies
