Target Iridium 63 Flare Constellation Cam Category Satellite Time yyyymmdd.hhmm 20080205.0522 EST Comments Not Seen Alt. 38° Az. 355° Mag. -4 I was awake so figured I would give this satellite a try even though NOAA had said last night that it would be rainy today. I found out after the fact that I was a day early. I thought today was the 6th and was looking for a Mag -4 flare at 0522 EST when I should have been watching for a Mag -8 at 0528 EST.
