Hi everyone, Last night I almost thought I was seeing a new nova in Ophiuchus but after five minutes, the motion of this satellite was finally noticeable to the naked eye. It was located in S. Ophiuchus at 16 h 15 m R.A. and Dec. -7 degrees and moved extremely slowly to the east. It started out at 3rd magnitude and remained there for several minutes before very slowly fading below the naked eye limit. 30-second time exposure photos show no movement. My observation was at 11:05 p.m. CDT from just north of Duluth, Minn. Was this a geosync or ... ? Any help on ID would be much appreciated. Thank you, Bob _______________________________________________ Seesat-l mailing list http://mailman.satobs.org/mailman/listinfo/seesat-l
