    Let the show begin
    
    I just confirmed that the geo sat's are flaring!
    
    Seeing as how bright the PAS 1R ( 26608 ) satellites was last year, I 
    thought I try it again this year.
    
    Aiming my binoculars in the area of sky near ALP HYA and waiting for the 
    correct time, I noticed a bright star slowly moving. Based on what I have 
    observed, it appears it's the good old PAS 1R satellite. It is between Mag 
    6.4-7.2 , based on some stars in the area it passed.
    
    So I bagged my first geo sat flare of the year.
    
    Now to outside again to watch this sat .
