The prediction for the iridium flares for Quebec city on the morning of June 2nd
are at 00:56:37; 00:58:44; 02:35:21; 04:03:19.
So I can see those iridium flares here (Lat.: 46.77 Long.: -71.33) near midnight.
I think that you can see those flares near midnight if you are near solstice and
if your ground-based site is a high latitude.
What do you think?
