Yesterday evening I tried to spot the following iridium:
30 Jan  21:54:33   -0    el. 35   az. 101   m.a.  2.4     Iridium 17
I saw it, but it was moving extremely slow, the slowest satelite I've 
ever seen. Is this iridium in a higher orbit? Are there any other 
iridiums up there like this one? Also, it didn't really flare and was 
approx. mag. 3.8. and moved from S to N. I just found it strange.
