THURAYA 1 gave 3 bright ( mag 5 are brighter ) at

5:35:16 
6:17:24
6:17:45

All times UTC ( Sept 3 )

Seens a little better then the other night. 

This is nice slow flashing geo sat. Could detect the slow flashes, for over 1.5 hours roughly.

Will have to use the scope on it, one night.

Around 8:45 UTC, a peice of SL-24 debris came by. It was mag 8 are brighter. It's catalog number
is 29256.
