I finally got around to observing 90081.

At 3:17 UTC it was around

17 h 10 m R.A
+45 deg 18 m Dec

Looked brighter then Mag 10

Easy to see, even if it was over 23000 km away, at the time.

video and obs data will be posted later.

Wait to hear if it's a trumpet satellite.

Added to my list of one's to measure, as it's bright.

Now back outside, to observing milstar 6. I like observing it, as it so bright:)
