Greetings, Only out for a little while after work. 24279 96 046C 0000 E 20110226011715000 56 31702 07 027B 0000 E 20110226013115000 56 37361 10 062L 0000 E 20110226013245000 56 1st observation of this satellite. Got my first view of NanoSail-D2 last night. It did not flare, just a steady brightness of about +2 as it passed to the left of Polaris as seen from my front yard. It was moving N to S, and as it passed into shadow, it became a deep red color. I was able to follow it for about a minute.
