I thought this was clear from my posting- perhaps not so!- that the object was observed on the camera picture on the website at the time and location specified (coordinates were stated), - that is why the header says remote, and I also stated my own location for information purposes. I did not post my own coordinates as they were not relevant to the observation. Any visual observations I make directly from my own location will of course include that information. Though it has been pointed out to me that the sightings should be confirmed I considered that there was a sufficiently high enough degree of probability to report the sighting as it corresponded exactly to predictions (using Heavens Above) and no other moving objects were predicted which were likely to be sighted with sufficient magnitude at that position and time. I thought it might be of interest that such an observation can be made using web cameras from distant locations, and I wonder whether there might be others on other websites with such potential- though in many cases no doubt cameras will be in locations where there is too much artificial light or where they are not active at night.
