Iridium Obs May 15 Iridium 66- a mag -4.0 or brighter flare was observed for 6 secs then seven mag 1.0 flashes were observed at about 6 sec intervals. I recall someone on the list mentioning post-flare flashes, first time I've seen them! May 16 Iridium 74- Again a nice mag -3.0 to -4.0 flare, no flashes though. Skymap predicted a flare from Ir 73? that Iridflar did not. No flare or flashes observed from this questionable spare.
