Satelite or spacestation sighting: anyone help?
Hi all
Today at 17:26 (Eastern Daylight saving time) in Canberra I spotted a very bright star like object next to the moon heading north slowly. It was at least mag -8 or brighter. I grabbed the 80mm refractor and had a look in between cloud. It seemed to have two purple/blue rectangles either side of a darker middle section. Hard to get a good look on a moving object with partial cloud moving in the area.
Can anyone please confirm WHAT I actually saw? It was pretty amazing in daylight to see something so bright.
