OTV 8 was observed on two passes, the first one in twilight, the second one low
in the west around shadow entry. During the first pass it was easily visible to
the naked eye, at about mag +1.5.

LIMASAT (2025-183B) was not seen.

In addition to the video observations reported here, I also photographed the
first OTV 8 pass. On the photographs is a UNID that I will measure tomorrow (as
it is late now and I have to be up early tomorrow to give rowing lessons).

Around 20:24 UTC, a train of several very faint unidentified objects, all a few
seconds behind each other, was observed near 24 Serpens. Likely recently
launched Starlinks or Starshields.
