Hi folks:

    Won't it be nice if we can predict in a SINGLE  pass how many
geographical sites are able to view flare from same Iridium satellite
and get observers on this 'flaring' path to report to back to the list.

    Any 'guru' out there can show me how to do this with what software
(Skymap etc?).. How do we calculate the long/lat corresponding to the
ground trace as potential sites?
