There is only 1 really bright Iridium flare predicted for my site ( Adelaide SA 34.97S, 138.63E) for rest of February. Is this a planetwide situation? I was using Rob Matson's IRIDFLAR as prediction program. The GSOC site agrees. Running IRIDFLAR for monthly periods using the latest elements from OIG shows a seasonal effect, with more glints in December. Tony Beresford
