Not sure if it was a satellite.. I'll know once I see a few more (on purpose or accidentally )

Dew, hey... Yes I read your dew thread. I was out the same night and there was massive dew (I'm in SE subs). Took me a while to work out why I couldn't see the cross-hair in the finderscope At least I only have to worry about dew on eyepieces and finder (well, and everything else exposed!). A benefit of the reflector I guess
