Good little report. There are many thousand of satellites and junk in orbit around the earth.
You will see a few go through your field of view when your out observing.
The other night about 30% of the objects I looked at had some junk or satellite go through the field.

It great to see you, Robk reporting your observations with a small scopes well done

I remember many years ago young Sab, PGC hunter. Showing me his sketches through a small Meade scope 5" If I remember and his sketches where fantastic.

Enjoy hunting down your galaxy it will be rewarding to find them.
Remember low field eyepiece to star hop with the finder then put a medium to high power eyepiece to look at the galaxy.

Happy viewing.
