The object could have been anything, there is so much rubbish up there now that you are bound to see something during a nights observing. I have also noticed that the clouds mostly stay clear of Orion too, it could be 8/8 of cloud cover but a tiny section is clear right around Orion, strange.......... I have only seen about 5 satellites while observing the Great Neb though the eyepiece. The ones I really hate are while you are observing some very faint galaxy and using adverted vision that BANG!!!!!!!!! a bright satellite goes through the field and scares the living do-dad's out of you.....
