    Oh Ya !
    
    I was waiting to see what happen, when the sun increased in positive declination, as the last time I observed Intelsat 1R flare up, is when the sun was north of the equator. I was betting Intelsat 1R would flare up, once the sun got north of the equator, just not sure when to expect flaring.
    
    Well Intelsat 1R ( 26608 ) is, easily mag 7 are brighter, and so is clearly flaring :)
    
    Now to see, now bright it get's as the first atenna flare occur's.
    Then later, the second flare from the other antenna, if the weather cooperates.
