    Hi all,
    
    I shot an image of a -7 flare of Iridium 72 (98-032B) from my new outpost in the 
    polder last night, which turned out quite scenic due to low ground fog. It can 
    be seen here (along with a few other pics):

    I also forgot to mention in my previously mailed data report, that Lacrosse 5 
    (05-016A) did it's "disappearance tric" again, at 22:54:35 UTC (Aug 11). 
    previous to that it was +1.5. At 22:56:08 it very briefly re-appeared again for 
    a few seconds only at about mag +3.5.
