Wow, amazing info about the upcoming Iridium flares by geo! Right down to the fact it will be caused by the right antenna. Is it a quick glint? The site does not give duration. The next one in my area is Mag 1 whichnis rather dim, isn’t it?

Yes, Mag 1 is pretty dim. They usually fade out after a few seconds. It's best figuring out best you can exactly where in the sky they will appear. Then you can watch as it gradually becomes visible.
