Hi folks:
Not sure how many of you took up satellite observation... Well Sunday Oct 2 evening sky looked promising, my in-door video system picked up a short trail that which at first thought was a meteor but in fact it was rocket body flaring... ( top image).. the object was ID using the latest tle and skymap.

Then slightly passed midnight a bright fireball grazed the lower left corner of one frame.. view the video there..

I have reserved a couple of interesting satellites for the heavy Optec f3.3 reducer/ccd on C8 next time. The ~ 2 degree FOV looks generous fo r this application..
