Watched Intelsat 1R ( 26608 ) flare up again, at around 2:09 utc ( June 25 ) I am watching Intelsat 704 ( 23461 ) flash to 8th mag range, just over every 4 minutes. I can see it between the bright flashes, it's just faint. At around 2:50 utc ( June 25 ) it gave a flash. The flash last's a couple of seconds, due to the slow rotation of the satelllite. Be interesting to see, how bright the flashes get over time, as the sun declination value changes.
