Observed both items last night using 10x50 binocs (initially 1x on 17590 since it was ~3.5 mag) in excellent clear skies. Had only one slight "glint" from 23412 - at 6.0 mag instead of steady 6.5 mag observed slowly declining to 7.0 at end. 17590 was steady throughout until I was distracted by a northbound UNID (Monitor-E/SL-19, 27840, 03-31A), one of four UNIDs last night. Also observed 28188 (04-8B, EutelSat W3A Breeze Tank) as an easy 1x object in Taurus and Gemini, up to mag 3.0 until finally ShI in Lynx low in NE. What a sight! - but also steady light.
