While at the Mapleton Observatory tonight, Adrian Adams spotted a bright (-1+ (or should that be -)) satellite heading from the NW to the SW. I haven't been able to find anything on HA and was wondering if we'd seen the Falcon 9. Can anyone supply a link to the likely passes of the Falcon?

I checked the X37 Steve and couldn't find anything until the 11th. :shrug: and this was much brighter than the X37 given magnitudes anyway. This was still relatively bright twilight, with only the brightest stars easily visible.
Whatever it was, it was quite bright and unexpected. Oh and definitely not a plane. :)
