Guys, what duration would you normally expect these flares to last. Is it only a split second, a few seconds, etc.
Usually they start to brighten and then flair then fade slowly over about 3 to 4 seconds.
If you have Bino's you can watch the satellite for a short while before it dissapearse into the Earth's shadow
