Berlin abt. 52.56N 13.38E 01.VIII.2000 We observed the following satellites: IRIDIUM 47 - 22.32: ?Z flared in time, predicted -5mag IRIDIUM 35 - 02.19:09Z flared in time, predicted -6mag ISS 01.50: ?Z max. El. 68deg -2mag then (like Jupiter) predicted 0.2mag by www.heavens-above.com The campfire in the park was excellent, the police disturbed only for a short time (campfires are illegal in Berlin City). About 15 young people saw satellites first time in their life and the last ones (4.19h LT) were astonished by IR-35. How to decode these often seen professional observation reports (a lot of numbers) ? How to estimate IRIDIUM brightnesses without anything for comparisation?
