[I accidentally sent this only to Tony, when I meant to send it to the list. But since noticing my error, I have something to add, which is below the post] ******* Thanks everyone for the ID. Although, I'm terribly confused on the date thing. I followed the sat for a few seconds, then realized I needed to look at my watch to get a time fix. It was 12:06:40 AM, Jan 6, local time, Pacific Time. So adjusting for UT, that makes it 0806 UT, Jan 6. Right? This happened this morning/last night. As I write this, I have 8:28 pm local, jan 6. Just did a sanity check and looked at an internet time server to make sure I wasn't on the wrong date mentally. I'm ok. I don't have 15836 in any of the TLE's I have access to. Too bad or I could plot it myself and see how it matches the pass by Saturn. <hint hint> I remember it quite well as I was studying the star and moon positions. I'd never seen so many Saturnian moons before. ****** Mea Culpa!!! I have discovered that I stated the wrong time. It should have been 08:40 UT instead of 08:05 UT. The mix up was due to having written down the time exactly as 12:40:06 as to when the sat appulsed a nearby star. In converting, I only saw 12:06 and converted that to UT, then subtracted one minute because that time was after I had follwed the sat for a short period past Saturn.
