Hello Last nighty I waited around For ETS-6 or KIKU 6 a Japaneese Satellite that was Launched in aug.28th 1994. The satellite did not get into its Position By some Malfunction -It's Still up there it must be Tumbling which causes it too Flash .I imaged it with 90mm apo-0.8 reducer and canon 450D.for a short time I could see it Naked Eye - It was in The North near Pegasus.My last image was at Midnight. http://www.n2yo.com/?s=23230 - This is a link to a web Satellite tracking.
