Hi John, In the summer of last year, I have seen IGS 1B briefly brightening to mag 0, maybe -1, during a zenith pass, in a kind of very slow flare. So that seems to match your description. I've seen it do it only once. More typically it is +2 to +1 at its brightest, at least the few times I saw it last year and this year. - Marco ------ Marco Langbroek Leiden, the Netherlands 52.15896 N, 4.48884 E (WGS 84) e-mail: meteorites@dmsweb.org website: http://home.wanadoo.nl/marco.langbroek ------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
