Hi,
looking at M22 with my 8" scope I saw a satellite passing through at around 
22:50 EDT. The satellite was travelling very slowly. It took between 30 sec and 
1 min to cross the field of view of my 26mm eyepiece (Meade 4000 series). Using 
Guide 8.0 and Mike's alldat.tle I found the sat was Intlsat 6F2 Rk. It was 
travelling so slow because it was at more than 17000 km. Very nice!

Some infos:
Telescope: Dobson 8" 1200mm
Eyepiece: Meade 4000 26mm
Location: 71° 54' W, 45° 24' N

Clear Skies!!!!
