My husband and I observed the flare of Iridium 90 tonight.
    azimuth about 50 degrees,
    max mag -4.4 (about as bright as Venus)
    appeared approx. 9 seconds early @ 22:05:47 (max. mag time)
Very bright and nice with naked eye viewing.  I believe we are getting
the hang of seeing the flares at night!!!

Best Viewing,
