Picked it up going through Aquila. It may have gotten a bit brighter but it did decrease in brightness at some point after culmination. Observed for almost three minutes and saw no brightness changes indicative of a tumbling satellite. That of course assumes that the brightness would change enough to be obvious if tumbling. Immediately after picking it up in 7x50 binoculars, I commented on the orange tint. Max elevation ~87 degrees. SW to NE pass. Sun only about 6 degrees below the horizon.
