Hi Terry,

Great image! I gather from what I can make out it appears to be tracking close
to sidereal? I understand it was observed from around 9pm to 11pm which
gives credence to it being boosted into a high geostationary orbit. Based on
Matt's link, it will almost certainly be AEHF. Here is a link to some pictures of it
being prepared. http://spaceflightnow.com/atlas/av019/preflight/

Do you happen to know an approx RA/Dec or Az/El for a given time?
Or even what constellation it was in?
