I have two more flare observations.   These are occurring around due east
or due west at this time of year.


1.   7 February 2022.  11:54UT.  Morning pass pre-sunrise

Northbound pass.  Maximum elevation of pass 48 degrees around azimuth 73
degrees.

Flare interval 11:54:21 UT – 11:55:01 UT.  Max magnitude ~3.   Sun
elevation   -24.5 degrees.

Maximum flare  ~ 11:54:41 UT.  Az/El:  86/47.  RA/Dec:  17:32.7/+29:38.5

Magnitude 3 or much less than the first flare observed.

2.   8 February 2022.  01:20 UT

Southbound pass.  Maximum elevation of pass 70 degrees around azimuth 285
degrees.

Flare interval ~1:19:57 UT – 1:20:56 UT.  Max magnitude ~0.   Sun
elevation   -11 degrees.

Note:  I first observed this flare when it was at/near maximum brightness
at 01:20:07 UT.
I elected to assign the start at 01:19:57 UT but even that may be late.


In both cases I was observing without optical aid and the satellite was
not observable
when not flaring.
