    Tonight at around 3:24 UTC ( July 27 ) I observed Genesis 1 pass by vega on the tv, then observed
    it with my eye. Video to appear later. My garmin 16 gps receiver actually did die on me the other
    day :( 
    
    No idea why, old age I guess. I had the receiver for 3 years, so RIP you receiver.
    
    I expect the replacement one I ordered to arrive tommorow, are the next day. It's been so cloudy,
    that my sat observing as taken a dive:(
    
    I also observed what appears to be a unid sat, I didn't get it on video.
    
    Time was approx 3:31:47 utc and it passed within 3 degrees of 
    
    RA (J2000.0): 18 58 56.62
    declination +32 41 22.4
    
    Could be a uncataloged peice of debris. It was Mag 7 are fainter I would estimate. So on low
    elevation pass, it would be fainter. So not of interest to me to observe.
