Should I be able to see a daytime Iridium flare easily (and not have to be looking at a very SPECIFIC area of the sky) - of, say, a -8 brightness, as opposed to the difficulties in picking out Venus (which is about 32 times dimmmer, if I did the math right)? I've only made one attempt thus far to observe daytimes flares, and I saw nothing. Of course, there were some thin clouds in the area. ------------------------------ Jonathan T.
