Missed astro events
I recently missed a mag. -8.2 Iridium flare: the brightest prediction I've ever encountered locally, just 1 km away (I've previously caught a mag. -7.3 & that blew me away!).
The sky was clear, dark & unobstructed without having to go somewhere to catch it.
DAMN!
I'd inadvertently agreed to meet some friends for dinner at the local RSL at the flashy moment (no chance of seeing it from bright-light town).
Try telling RSL types you have to cancel dinner because of a flash in the sky that lasts 2 seconds!
What astro events have you missed & why? (excluding weather events).
