    Tonight while waiting for the Inmarsat 4-F2 geo sta to flare, I noticed a star in the wrong area.
    
    The time was approx 2:50 UTC ( Apr 26 ) and it was close to a star at
    
    RA (J2000.0): 13 47 13.40
    declination -09 42 33.7
    
    I did a check and Cosmos 2419 is was in the right area. 
    
    No video of it.
    
    I have to keep an eye out for more glonass satellites.
    
    That was cool:)
