    I was able to spot the AMAZONAS geo sat, after awhile. Fainter compared to the two other's nearby
    which are Echostar 3 and Rainbow 1. Rainbow 1 was the brightest at around mag 8.9
    I found it easier to see Echostar 3 and Rainbow 1.
    
    I also had cosmos 2339 come flying through the feild of view.
    
    Time of Observation 2:02 UTC ( Aug 20 ). Used my 70 mm refractor.
