Hi Seesaters, Last night at about 03:09:28 10/15/00 UTC, I was observing the moon at about 50X when it was transited by a satellite. The solar arrays of the sat were clearly visible. They were square, or nearly so, and appeared to be joined to the sat at a corner of each. But the sat itself was too small to see or I just didn't see it in the 3 seconds or so of the transit. This may have been Cosmos 783, but it doesn't exactly match with the Moon keps I got from the web. Can anyone help ID this, or point me to an image of Cosmos 783 so I can see if it's the same shape? Thanks.
