Starting on Mar 23, ARABSAT 4 will enter a period of constant sunlight. Since it will be passing over north america, near perigee, then makes for some nice passes. Depending on where you, are will effect how bright it appears. For example Ed Cannon On Mar 24, around 2:41 UTC give are take a few minutes, it passes very high in the sky. I would estimate it to be in the Mag 4 range at that time for him. This based off what I observed and got an approx standard magnitude. This weekend I am off, and it appears it might be clear, so I will target it with my tracking system:) What I am using for Standard Magnitudes, good to +/- 1 magnitude. Use at your risk.
