Iridium predicted

This morning, from Rob Matson's prediction sent to me on Sep.30,
I had a 0.1 degree flare from Iridium 7 at 03:44:15, 35 degrees
elevation in the North (northbound)

Since Rob didn't check Iridium 26-, I ran Randy John's program
to scan for more opportunities. I had the extreme fortune of 
having the entire 97-56 bunch flare at the same location between
03:43:50 and 03:46:40 !

Unfortunately I was again fiddling with my video camera again, so
I didn't get the first two on either photo or tape, including the
awesome -6 flare, but I did see that one.

Thanks, Rob and Randy !
