Ah ok. I think I might of been a little off with my time (I think the microwave clock needs to be checked
), as it was definately below Saturn.
Still I'm quite suprised to be able to see a Satellite in the suburbs. Before getting into astromony, the last time I seriously looked in the sky at night was years ago camping in the Grampians. I remember not a minute going by that you wouldn't spot one slowing moving across the sky. I guess it's just a bit more rare in suburbs due to light pollution.
Anyway, thanks for clearing that up.
