Please note that since the Sun (appears to) moves just 1 deg/day, Iridium orbits precess less than .5 degrees and a flare extends for a few degrees, the Saturn passes are not limited to western Russia! During May 1-3 (?) a number of opportunities will be distributed "randomly" over the Earth in the latitude band 51-55 (?) North (I have only done a few sample computations) If you have IridFlar, look for predictions near 6h 39m +22° 45 If you use H-A, it is a lot more tedious to follow the sat info/ passes/date-time charts for each possible pass. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Kevin Fetter" <kfetter@yahoo.com> To: <SeeSat-L@satobs.org> Sent: Thursday, April 29, 2004 12:07 AM Subject: Re: Iridium flare inside Saturn's ring - Part Deux > --- "Denis V.
