    While Aimed at Cosmos 2319 ( 23653 ) to see how it was behaving, I noticed another satellite. 
    
    It was Galaxy 9 ( 23877 ) and it was in flare mode.
    
    At 5:44 utc ( May 5 ) it's mag 8 range.
    
    Now to see, if I missed the best of the show.
    
    Info on the satellite

    Oh darn, look's like another geo sat, who's antenna can cause a nice light show.
    
    Never know, what I'll see, when observing.
