    Intelsat 1R ( 26608 ) looks to have gotten slightly brighter, appearing in the 9th mag range.
    Good to see, the surface causing the show, still doing it's job, even if the flare isn't as bright
    as it was in Feb.
    
    Time was 3:50 UTC ( May 10 )

    Hazy sky wrecking the view. Will need a bettter night, to confirm what was observed.
