Unknown Satellite
Greetings,
I need some help from anyone. I was outside waiting on Iridium 77 to flare tonight when I saw an unknown satellite passing, N to S, about half-way between Saiph and Rigel, at the bottom of Orion. The satellite was about the same brightness as Saiph. The time was about 6:56 pm, give or take 30 seconds, CST. I am sorry my timing is not a little better. My location is 30:29:07 N 89:00:09 W. I was not able to id the satellite with mccants.tle, and I am unable to access the 8,000 + satellite list. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks, Bill |
