    Oh Ya!
    
    Oh so very nice :)
    
    I had aimed at
    
    22 h 14 m R.A
    -6 deg 43 m Dec
    
    And let the mount track that area of sky, for awhile.
    
    I had started recording at 5:30 UTC ( Aug 31 ) and went inside for awhile.
    
    I came out, just in time to see a bright geo sat, passing by that area of sky. The bright geo sat, was spaceway 2 ( 28903 ) as I had reported earlier.
    
    I later observed spaceway 1 ( 28644 ) flaring up also.
    
    When I played back the video, spaceway 3 ( 32018 ) was also observed flaring up, to  mag 7 range, oh ya!
    
    The spaceway geo sat's, are boeing HS702 series, and have the same type of antenna.
