Interesting. During my obs last night I "may" have seen a fluctuation
in brightness of one of the satellites...possibly #25395 or #25398.
#25398 is listed as Westpac. Not sure if that is a likely optical
effect of the reflectors. Of course it is a debatable observation
due to the limited duration in the field of view.
