Hi DJ,

Having some fun in Stellarium at between 0500 and 0700 Adelaide time this morning it appears that the Mentor 1 Satellite passed very close to Mars (within 1 minute of angle) at approximately 0603 Adelaide Time this morning. It was travelling at a speed where it would have taken about 55 seconds to traverse your 14 minute field of view. Its path would have appeared as almost horizontal.

Best
