Globalstar 4 point for practice I know it would be better to get more than 1 point on an obs, I'm trying. All obs tonight were done with 10 x 50 binocs, except for Iridium 35 which flared at 23.16.10 UT at 028 az 37 el to a predicted -2.1 mag but sky conditions were poor, it was visible unaided eye but 3 to 4 mag dimmer. Ground conditions weren't to good either with -7 C and lots of snow on ground, but at least there was no wind. What is this sat called Platform?
