[guide-user] Iridium flare event predictions in Guide

Klaus-Michael Koeppl Nov 28, 1999

Hi Bill,

one interesting feature in Guide is the visibility of satellites by
using
the corresponding tle-files. Is it possible to predict iridium flare
events for the specified observerĀ“s location as a new feature in Guide
? In the internet the URL http://www.heavens-above.com predicts iridium
flare events after editing the coordinates of the observerĀ“s location.
Another effective but uncomfortable DOS-programm I found for this
purpose is Rob Matsons "Iridflar 1.65". I think that this new feature
would be very interesting for astrophotographers who want to avoid such
flares on long time exposures. Thanks for an answer,

Michael
