CDT. I saw it flashing about every 2 seconds, and was able to follow it for a couple of minutes. This was the first satellite I have seen thru my Telescope, it was really interesting. The astronomy program that I use had it: Height: 2,900.49 miles (4,678.21 km); Range: 3,199.13 miles (5,159.9 km). I also was able to see, in the Telescope eyepiece, Yaogan 9B (36414 2010-009B), as it was moving N to S, pass below M-42, in the "Sword" of Orion about 8:15:00 pm. CDT.
