    I was trying to spot some satellites from my balcony in the city on Sunday
    night . I located
     7 or 8 using binos and an 8" F/6 telescope
    
    Some I remember were:
    
    Iridium 44 Tum,   25078U passed 1.3 degrees below Jupiter on UT 5/12 @
    6:09:30.
      it was tumbling, and varied in brightness.
    
    Cosmos 1697 r., 16182U passed 3.2 arc-min below Jupiter on UT 5/12 @ 6:45.
    
    Noss 3 (G),  11745U passed about 1.5 deg above the Moon on 5/12 @ 8:03:20.
        It was very red and completely dimmed and disappeared 5 or 6 seconds
    later.
        It was running about 1 minute 14 seconds late.
