    Hello,
    A short time ago whilst casually stargazing in SW England I 
    saw a satellite which I cannot identify on HeavensAbove.
    At 23.16ish BST (22.16UT)
    this evening 26May (sorry, should have included that in my original !)
     it passed very close to Arcturus 
    (alpha Boo)
    and a short time later very close to Alioth (epsilon 
    UMaj)
    Initially bright, rivaled Arcturus which brought it to my 
    attention,
    later became dim, (maybe mag2 or 2.5) as it passed 
    Alioth.
     
    My location is approx. 51.445N 
    2.75W
     
    I cant see where I am going wrong on HeavensAbove,
    perhaps I 
    have not got my timezone corrector something,
    so any ideas would be welcome,
    thanks.
