I observed a satellite that is not in ALL_TLE.TXT nor Mike McCants integrated TLEs file.

The satellite was approximately at the position of 3UC 155-158961, 16h 20m 07.55s -12˚ 55’ 13.9” apparent coordinates of date, as shown in the following video:

The field of view is 17’ x 11’ and integration time 2.13 seconds.  The satellite was moving approximately 118 arcseconds per second roughly towards the ENE.

Observer Location: 42 57 36.9 N, 90 08 31.1 W, 390 m

It appears that SL-12 R/B (AUX MOTOR) [NORAD #22066 Intl: 1992-047G] was located less than a degree away at the time towards the NW out of the field moving generally in the same direction but perhaps just a coincidence.

Thanks,

David Oesper
