Just caught the HST heading from WNW to E, the brightest I have seen it in a long time and gave a beautiful Flair just level with Orion time 19:49-19:53
I was not expecting it as I had just stepped outside to see what the clouds where doing

Observed in my 7x35 Bino's
Cheers

HST? Excuse me, probably something obvious I will think of in a minute, but all the same, care to explain?

Bianca,just a couple more you may come across on the forums
Iridium Flares = bright flair from a group of satellites that point their Solar panel's at the sun at a given time and are very bright
