Re: (meteorobs) Fwd: [Astronomer] Observation -- Possible meteorite?
Hi, list:
Sorry for the delay in responding about Iridium flares. I've been away from
the computer for a couple of days. I agree about being careful to check on
them for point meteors, particularly bright ones. I have seen a couple of
flares when I wasn't expecting them, and they really are surprising!
The site I use most often for predictions is from the German Space
Operations Center at http://www.heavens-above.com/ . Follow the directions,
put in your observing location, then bookmark that -- every time you go
there, it will remember your location. This site gives satellite and
Iridium predictions for days in advance, and Iridium flares for the past 48
hours, too. I find it to be very accurate.
