Last night was a good night for iridium spoting.

First at 8:26 pm edt, iridium 41 produced a nice bright flare from it's solar panel, then 3
minutes later a -6 flare from the antenna:)

Then at 8:42 iridium 920 produced at least 4 quick very bright flashes.

Then at 8:55 iridium 44 produced some flashes.

My neirbour watched all the above with me.

Now If it's clear tonight, I can see a -7 flare from iridium 42:)

Kevin
