What did I see next to Mars? Satellite?
Hello everyone
This morning, at around 6am, I was viewing Mars at pretty high power. Whilst observing, I noticed perhaps a satellite drift through the field of view. What confused me was how slowly it was moving. It took around 20 seconds to move through the field. In terms of field of view, I was using my Pentax 3.5mm XW (70 degree AFOV) with the Esprit 150ED, so therefore this equates to around a 0.23 degree or 14 minute fov!
Any ideas what could move this slowly at such a small fov?
Cheers
Daniel
