    Hello
          
    Tonight I apparently observed Cosmos 2082. I
    found the info to observe it from Heavens above page. I did observe a
    blinking red satellite, however it didn't follow the coordinates
    found on Heavens above. It was stated 2082 would pass through the
    Square of Pegasus, however it passed south of the square. Did anyone 
    else observe 2082?
      The following are the info on my location and time of observation.
     Marshfield,MA USA
    - Latitude:42.0780 N
    - Longitude:70.6500 W
    - UT Offset: -5:00 (EST)
    - The Date of observation:11/24/06
    - The Time of observation:22:57 UTC - The Satellite:Cosmos 2082 Rocket
    
      According to HA 2082 was to enter the Square of Pegasus between the 
    stars Markab and Scheat at approximately 22:57. However 2082 proceeded 
    south of the Square of Pegasus. The following web page is on Heavens 
    Above website;
