Craig, above are my reports for the northbound, morning 24903-24907 Iridium
passes. I am missing sun phase angle info (Unk) but the az/el during the
flare
(low in the NNE), and max el of the passes (about 52) may help you decide]
when to look.
Unfortunately, if my predictions for you are correct, you do not have any
passes that match this in the next few weeks. However, the western passes
MAY be similar to what Paul Maley saw.
