Check on 'Heavens Above' and saw two iridium flares, one yesterday 6.10 am and one this morning, 5.56 and both seemed to wobble. I was using the trusty 10x50s to view them. How could this be, the wobble?:shrug:
Both were heading NNE
Anyway, they both looked great, close enough to the Moon and Venus/Mars.

Cheers, Bobj.

They are a great sight, and the predictions are very close. Its good to point them out to someone who hasn't seen one, always get the Wow's :)
