This was the greatest number of satellites observed in one session for
me. I also observed a 0.9 mag flare from the right MMA of Iridium 47
at 22:06:42 UTC, 1 sec late on prediction. Yesterday, Jan. 10 at
22:12:51, I also witnessed a nice -6.4 mag flare from the right MMA of
Iridium 25. This one was right on time. Iridflar 1.63 was used for the
prediction.
All timings exact within 1 sec.
