Hi folks:

     South-bound Ir#74 was on time and put out a magnitude - 5 flare
very close to alpha Dorado in early am sky here ( 5:33:03 local time)
outside my window. [A 200mm lens framed the flare ( I think) but during
the exposure a distant lightning occured which might wrecked the ASA800
exposure.]  Twelve minutes later the east-bound Mir crossed the iridium
track and sailed pass the bright Canopus.
