Last evening (25 October) at 23:22:21 UTC I was treated to a great,
predicted -7 mag flare from Iridium 51. By my count that's about 4 reported
predicted flare in the last few weeks for Iridium 51.
I agree - time to remove the "?"
My 1st attempt at photographing an Iridium flare actually worked out. Go
figure.

I'll find a place for it on my homepage sometime tomorrow.
