With Mir gone from my night skies for over a week now, it's time to look at other objects. I had 2 flares within seconds of each other by Iridium 56 #25170 98010B and Iridium 86 ? #25528 98066B, output below. Both became quite visible at 1x, mag 3, approx 30 deg before the predicted flare azimuth with slight increase in magnitude just before the flare. Sorry no timings as both sats became visible and i was busy trying to take their picture and watch them at the same time. After their respective flares both vanished quickly as they went into shadow shortly afterwards.
