That would be Intelsat 1R ( 26608 ), you observed last night.

Eventually, I expect it to grow fainter, but still be seen in Binoculars, at flare time. 

Other geo sat, that should be detectable in Binoculars, is Inmarsat F4-2 ( 28899 ), 90023 and Milstar 6 ( 27711 )  Look when the area of sky, is aorund 12 hours difference in R.A from the sun, for those 3.
