Hi Reggie, Globalstar MO58 is the only (more or less) matching candidate that I could find: http://www.heavens-above.com/passdetails.aspx?lat=36.1296&lng=-77.4202&loc=Scotland+Neck&alt=30&tz=EST&cul=en&satid=25910&mjd=57914.1235784835&type=V Was the path of "your" object similar? I suppose it was not the SL-8 upper stage from the Kosmos 2098 launch: http://www.heavens-above.com/passdetails.aspx?lat=36.1296&lng=-77.4202&loc=Scotland+Neck&alt=30&tz=EST&cul=en&satid=20775&mjd=57914.1295690759 Btw, NNW = 337.5° (315° = NW) and 10° above Polaris would have been at an altitude of 46° (not 40°).

I was searching for a Cosmos rocket body and picked up a very faint sat in my binoculars. My coordinates: 36.1232° N, 77.4267° W Object was traveling from approx. North northwest (315°) to Northeast (45°) Altitude: 40° (10° above Polaris) Magnitude: +4.5 - +4.0 I use the Heavens-Above app and didn't see anything in that general location on the scope. I searched the 5.0 magnitude sats on the Heavens-Above website but still couldn't locate anything that it may have been. Thanks for any help, Reggie Duke http://www.djr04.com/satellite_observations.html _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-lReceived on Sat Jun 10 2017 - 05:17:31 UTC
