I was just out admiring the full moon evening and saw what looked like a bright satellite travelling from about Az 220 Alt 80 degrees travelling down towards the horizon toward Az 220 degrees SSW. Started about Mag 2, slowly faded to about Mag 4, then brightened to Mag 1-2 below 45 degrees elevation.
Time was 2145hrs Qld time. Much too late for light reflected from the sun surely? The full moon at that time was directly behind me as I watched this object set to the South.
ISS and Hubble nowhere near Aus at the moment.
Would appreciate an explanation for my XMAS star please?
