Hi all,
I noticed on Heavens Above that the Genesis I satellite was passing Crux this evening, so I had a go at capturing it. It's visible in this 15 second exposure just below d Cru and Gacrux. The predicted magnitude was 2.6, and it appeared to be spinning, as it brightened every few seconds (as revealed in the image).
Not very spectacular, but it's the first time I've captured this one, so here it is.
Cheers,
Stephen
