Used my new GPS receiver to get on the IRIDFLAR predicted centerline for the Iridium 17 flare west of Houston this evening. If you need an excuse to get a GPS, use the excuse "I need one to chase Iridiums." Iridium 17 flared brighter than Venus. Paul L. Sventek psventek@hotmail.com sventek@ibm.net paul@kelman.com
