I observed the latest Globalstar sats however i was only able to get a timing on the first one as they were close together. At 02:56:17 10 Feb UTC +/- 3 sec Globalstar D? #26084 00008D passed less than a degree below (ESE) Castor. Mag 4. I checked my watch for the time and when i put my 10x50s back up to Castor since i was using it as a reference star i noted another one right below it. Since a few seconds had passed i realized that it was the second in line, Globalstar B? #26082 00008B. Knowing the others weren't too far behind, i scanned a bit to the West and there was Globalstar C? #26083 00008C and 7 sec behind it was Globalstar A #26081 0000A. They all were the same mag 4. At 03:02:26 i observed Cosmos 2369 r #26070 00006B enter shadow approx 2 deg to the left (W) of Alioth.
