Busy space

Tonight sure was busy on satellite / meteorite traffic!

Did some visual for a while while I let the imaging scope come to ambient, and watched a faint satellite cross through the FOV on Jupiter. Looked for it unaided, but couldn't see it (was faint enough in the Tak).

THen observed A-Crux, and another dim satellite right through my FOV.

Then doing my guiding calibration, watched not one, but 2 meteorites streak through the FOV of the guidescope.

And to top it all off, a red fireball just as I was finishing up, going exactly true south.
