Tom Wagner asked: > Does anyone know the lowest in the sky someone has observed an Iridium > flare? Saw three flares last night: Iridium 41 15 elev -2 predict -1 obs 10:50:11 CDT predict +0s obs Iridium 43 12 elev -1 predict -2 obs 10:59:15 CDT predict +8s late obs Iridium 22 11 elev -6 predict +2 obs 11:34:03 CDT predict note 1 Note 1: +10s, I didn't see the flare at max due to low clouds / lights Weather very muggy, still, low clouds moving in for Irid 22. Irid 41, 43 in west below Jupiter, no lights, no clouds yet. I have seen several others lately, in a cycle with many "under" Jupiter in west and near Deneb in the east. They have all been pretty much as predicted, with only weather to affect them. Mag -8 flare near Deneb last week had the "cloud sweep" effect noted a few days ago on the board.
