You could also say that it was moving through the field-of-view in DIRection 140 approximately (or 3:30 on the 'small hand' - the DIR angle is what QuickSat/HighFly use) instead of the more diffuse horizon target SSE, which requires a very large star map, or a good imagination. It was Molniya 3-50, 99036A, #25847. Screen shots sent separately to Kevin.
