Hello:
Last night I was out just general observing and saw a few
satellites, but one was interesting. It "appeared" in Aquila
and decended towards the SSW but was moving very slow and it brightened
to almost -2 magnitude as I was trying to use Jupiter as a guide. It
was brighter than any of the brighter stars. I looked on Heavens Above
and CalSky but none match the track or even say what satellite it
was. One thing of interest was it's "twinkling" as it moved slow.
Info Lat: N44d 39'
Long: W63d 36'
Time: approx. 0050 UT to 0055 UT
Place: Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
Clear skies
