    I had aimed at Anik F1 ( 26624 ) before heading to work. I wanted to see if it would flare up, like I had observed it do, back in Jan 2006. No flaring detected, oh well.
    
    As I was playing back the video, a satellite ITOS 1 ( 04320 ) also called Tiros M passed by at around 11:15:40 UTC ( Jan 16 ). It was in the 7th magnitude range, and was over 2400 km away at the time. Will manually add it, to the mccants file I got off mike's site, since it's easy to see.
    
    Info on satellite.
