    Oh so nice :)
    
    In the area of sky, I fiqured to look, I see a slow moving star :)
    
    It's a glonass satellite = Cosmos 2419 ( 28915 )
    
    At 2:18 UTC ( Sept 16 ) it was around mag 7 range.
    
    Position of sky
    
    23 h 36 m R.A
    + 1 h 40 m Dec
    
    Capture on video.
    
    To bad the moon is nearby, washing out fainter stars, and wrecking the view.
    
    I'll post the video, tommorow.
    
    Kevin
