Iridium 2 ? 1 25527U 98066A 00271.53383499 .00003912 00000-0 49199-3 0 3695 2 25527 85.5676 281.6400 0013186 351.9496 8.1515 14.81772860102767 I had a prediction for a mag 3.6 pass by COSMOS 1579 COOLANT #26518 84069K so i went out and looked. The sky was hazy at the time so i used my 10x50 and searched along the projected track. I picked up an object that was following the expected track of the object in question, varying in magnitude slightly but bright enough to put out a halo in the haze. I don't have an accurate timing but at 04:14:00 28 Sep UTC +/- 5 sec it was at Az 55 deg El 60 deg heading to Az 45 coming from Az 220.
