A good ISS pass across the N sky. Reached about mag 0 as opposed to a 1.5 which was predicted by Rob's Skymap. For this program, standard magnitudes are in satmag.dat. The standard mag for ISS (ZARYA, 25544) is 2.5. I wonder if that should now be increased by 0.5-1.5 magnitudes, now that the Zvezda module is attached? I saw the same SEASAT 1 (10967) flare as John Breckenridge. For me it flared to mag 0, about 7 degrees after passing Vega. That would be about az 92 degrees el 83 degrees 21:11:24 PDT = 4:11:24 8/10 UTC. Also saw 22803 Cosmos 2263 r, 25063 TRMM, 11332 SL-3 R/B.
