Last few nights of flaring geosats in 20 x 80 binoculars. Very surprised how easy they were. Hispasat / Spainsat set were most interesting, lighting up very low in the east while still in twilight. I checked on them each time to watch the order in which they flare. Tried to find unique ones each night, but there are a few repeats. If not listed here, the objects are probably not easily seen in binoculars, or I did not get them at the best phase angle.
