    Hi Ed...
    
    Thanks for the info.I have just been looking at the "brightest" sat section
    in CalSky....very comprehensive.That too gives IGS 1B as a possible ...in
    fact it is a perfect fit
    
    But , could it have flared to this extent ?.....Calsky puts it as mag 3-4 !
    
    Regards,
    
    John.
