Iridium t:
Ir 14 tum- unable to get accurate times, however 6 pairs of flashes, the
pair being within 1 sec of each other, I'm guessing each pair six secs
apart (I noted a six sec period on last obs of this one), from 04:18:44 to
about 04:19:30.
Elevation from 64d to 43.7 with sun angle from -27.5 to -27.7. Magnitudes
were approx -2 then getting brighter to maybe -4 then dimmer again to -2
then 1.0 or so. Nice show, was able to get it on film. First of each
pair brighter than second.
