I have seen the following in the 8 ince scope so far tonignt. XM 1 GE 3 PAS 1R NIMIQ 1 GALAXY 11 ECHOSTAR 3 Since Galaxy 11 and Nimiq 1 are at around 90 degrees west, and I saw them both in the feild of view. I didn't see the milstar satellite reported by spaceflightnow as going to be at 90 degrees west. So the milstar is fainter then I can see to, its orbit is inclined so it didn't pass throught the area of sky I looked at. I observed the area of sky that the XM1 passed throught, and waited till the passage of the galaxy 11 and nimiq 1 later. During which I saw the GE 3 satellite, but nothing else. Now to see XM 2, echostar 2 and others.
