Was out casually looking at Hale-Bopp and Superbird A with 10x50's.  A
bright unknown, about 2nd magnitude, crossed from north to south through
the Orion's belt area and over to northern Canis Major.  Didn't have my
watch with me and couldn't take positional measurements.  It was about
03:48 on April 13 (UT).  A quick run through the latest molczan.tle didn't
come up with anything.  The object moved somewhat quickly.  My coords
-121.398, +38.458, 8m.
