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.
