hello everyone, I went over to my grandparents' to demonstrate a prediction for iridium 90 on 21 sept at 00:40:00 UTC. the location there is ( 41.6850°N, 87.7080°W) HA predicted a flare of mag -7 for iridium 90 just near polaris. it was the first time I have gone out to view a significantly bright iridium flare as predicted by HA only be disappointed. at its peak it reached perhaps mag -1.5. conditions were exceedingly clear, light pollution fair to poor. any ideas as to why this may have occured? clear skies! stephan szyman chicago IL USA 41.6840N, 87.7000W; 188 msl ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
