Default observing from a comfy pillow!

With head laying on a comfy pillow this dawn a slow moving 'star' was
seen to brighten then fade just below Deneb through our north-east
facing window. A later check at heaven-above website confirmed it
was an Inidium glint #36 !

The last time I recall "pillow observation" was a decade ago with
comets Hale-Bopp and Hyakutake occupying a similar location in the
sky. This is really lazy stuff!
