    If anyone who can see the geo sat from there location, and see's this message.
    
    At around 2:27 UTC I expect Intelsat 1R to flare up. I beleive it will now be in easy to see with
    the naked eye. I been under constant clouds since Feb 1, so I can't see beep, to see how bright it
    gets. It flares a few degrees from the bright star Alphard.
    
    This winter has been bad for observing.
