My observations of the 4 unreliable ones are:- Iridium 51 (25262/98018A) 14/10/99 20:07 UTC Mag .0 Azm. 136° Elev. 53° As predicted 01/03/00 18:53 UTC Mag.-3 Azm. 13° Elev. 49° As Predicted Iridium 69 (25319/98026A) 15/01/99 18:46 UTC Mag. -8 Azm. 31° Elev. 43° As Predicted 06/04/00 21:47 UTC Mag. 3 Azm. 52° Elev. 31° As Predicted Iridium 2 (25527/98066A) 16/09/00 20:20 UTC Mag 2.5 Azm. 88° Elev. 41° Unexpected Iridium 73 (25344/98032C) No show As you say I51 & I69 are on station if a little unreliable, I2 is drifting but I do not think it's tumbling yet and its anybody's guess as to the state of I73. The recent sighting of a predicted flare of I73 seems to throw the tumbling theory out of the window. I'll keep watching if the weather will permit.
