Near-perfect conditions with just enough wind to prevent dew problems so my first all-night session for many months. 96-42A: Identity not certain but I cannot find another match for it. The unidentified object was found low in the southwest whilst looking for a geostationary satellite. Around mag 9 when first seen it showed no variation in brightness and appears to be in a 'Molniya' orbit. Could it be one of the lost (to us) Trumpets? I followed it for 30 minutes before the sky got too bright.
