    A first for me:  Iridium 45 with a right antenna flare peaking at 20:23:45 
    EDT that was still visible as a solar panel flare began and then peaked at 
    20:24:11.
    
    What was interesting was the slow rise and fall of the antenna flare, 
    contrasted with the rather steep/fast rise and fall of the solar panel flare.
    
    Thanks to Robert Matson and his Iridflare for making making this a 
    predictable event.
    
    Regards,
    
    Ray
