WOHOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!

Just observed a MASSIVE flare by IGS 1B (03-009B) at 20:58:40 UTC (Sept 2).

Magnitude -8! Or something like that.

Rivalled the best Iridium flares.

And....: I have it on photograph. VERY spectacular image!

URL with picture will follow later.

Holy moly, this was spectacular! I was shouting "WHOOOOOHA!!!!" through the 
night... :-D
