Thanks guys
It definitely wasn't an iridium flare - we watch those quite frequently. This was a "flashing" light, 5 sec intervals and stationary . It was quite faint, our eyes had to be looking within a couple of finger widths to pick it up - but we were able to watch for a good 20 minutes. In this time it's position relative to the star "u" - it moved about 3-4 finger widths towards the east.
The only reasonable explaination we could come up with was a tumbling/spinning geosynchronous satellite - do they exist?
We love "heavens above" but he doesn't have anything that seemed to be appropriate to what we saw
