I am running behind with reporting on my observations again. After my last report, I observed again on the 22nd and 26th of April. Targets were the usual suspects: the KH-12 KeyHoles USA 129 and USA 186, and two of the IGS objects (IGS 1B, and the IGS 5 r/b).

USA 186 is giving nice flare shows again. On the 22nd, I captured one of these flares (peaking at 21:11:36.7 UTC) on photograph. The same image also has the Kosmos 1515 r/b on it as a stray. See the image below, and the brightness profile of the flare below it:
