    I would certainly like to see images/times (and your location!).
    If you can also identify stars or approximate coordinates in the images, it 
    would help.
    There are several tumbling (some slow) objects in high orbits, mostly 
    Molniyas.
    And "allsats" are still available from 
    http://www.space-track.org/perl/login.pl
    excepting the amateur TLEs from http://www.io.com/~mmccants/tles/classfd.zip
