Hi all,

While doing a plane-scan for USA 224, I noted GOSAT (IBUKI), #33492, 09-002A, 
flaring brightly to -3 near 23:37:45 +/- 10s UT (20 April 2015).

I did not record USA 224 in a plane scan that lasted from 23:02 UT to 00:35 UT, 
using a Canon EOS 60D and 2.5/50mm lens, taking images each 30 seconds.

However, parts of that period had thin cirrus clouds, and during faint passes 
this lens does not always record the KH-11 (although it usually does).

- Marco
