While viewing Comet Lulin with 15 x 70 binoculars, I noticed some irregular period flashes, 5-8th magnitude, in the NW quardrant of the 4.4 degree field of view. Later, using my minimal resources, I failed to ID any satellites as potential flashers. Thought it could have been geo(s) but the declination strikes me as low for my location? I'm just a casual sat observer--please suggest the best software tools to ID sats/geosats, and/or help ID. Thanks in advance.
