Yesterday evening, Sep 17th, I invited my boss and his fam. for a look
a Mars through my telescope.
After that, I showed them some other nice interesting sky objects, and
when we looked at Albireo, the double star in Cygnus, a satellite came
into view!
I could not find it on heavens-above.com so I am asking the group if
any one of you can tell me which satellite we have seen.

My location:
Coordinates: 12.1000° N, 68.9000° W
Elevation: 30 meters (98 feet)
Region: Netherland Antilles
Time Zone: Universal Coordinated Time 4 (GMT - 4:00)

The time we saw it: 21:15 at Albireo

I hope you can tell me the name of the satellite!
