Observations 4/15/99 4/16 GMT Skies did not clear til late but I was able to set up for a few Iridium passes Iridiums: Iridiums 71t gave a single mag 2.0 flare on ascension, no time noted. Ir 24 t was quiet. General: NOAA 11 gave two mag -2 to -3 flares in succession (predicted mag at 5.7). Caught sight of it just before Max of first flare at 02:25:00 While setting up camera for Ir 24t (which passed un-flashingly). NOAA then dimmed to mag 1 then brightened again to around -2.0 to -3.0. Will post exposure if it comes out well.
