    Used my wide feild method to observe, since I was working last night.
    
    I wanted to see, if I could spot spaceway 3 ( 32018 ) flare up, since the sun was around the same declination, when I had observed a flare from spaceway 3 back in 2007.
    
    Playing back the video, at around 7:04 UTC ( Jan 25 ) I could see a very faint moving star, where spaceway 3 was located. So I beleive I observed it flare up. Was around the 9th magnitude range, jsut barely detectable.
    
    Next time, I will use the scope.
