Thursday evening local (early 15 October UTC) I observed
Iridium 85 (98-66C, 25529). Its flashing was very
complex, and I had a difficult time making much sense of
the times (from 0.13 to 6.23 seconds, with several of
four or five seconds). The best I could come up with to
fit the times I had was a period of possibly about 10.7
seconds.
Friday evening due to a meeting, the only one I saw was
Superbird A afterwards. Is it just me or are its flashes
not quite as bright as when it was first discovered?
