    I usually just lurk here and am just a casual observer, however I also tried
    to ID any possible sats. I too saw Symphonie2 made a close pass to the moon
    at near that time.
    
    However, I also found the following to nearly cross the moon at 9:37:36 CDT.
    Perhaps your watch was slow by 31 seconds or so?
