Hi all...

Iridium 66 and an unknown friend.

http://members.optusnet.com.au/~astroman02/flares/iridium66b.wmv

Time: 22:26:52
Magnitude: -5
Altitude: 32°
Azimuth: 114° (ESE)

If anyone can identify the other Satellite please let me know what it is, I am almost 100% certain it is another Iridium, but which one? Usually Starry Night will tell me, but I havent installed it on this new computer yet.

Location of observation was Adelaide, SA time 10:36pm on the 25th of November, 2006.

Very Good Film Clip.
We saw a few Mag 3 Sat's tonight, but no Iridiums !
I have seen a few -8 Iridiums, they are amazing :eyepop:

After a little investigation I have found out this extra Iridium was infact, Iridium 14.
