Satellite across the sun

Wow! In all my time looking at the moon at night, I've never seen a satellite cross my
field of view, but just now, looking at the sun by eyepiece projection, I thought an ant
was walking across my white sheet of plastic. I moved the plastic but the ant kept right
on walking across the image..... it was a satellite! In focus, longer than it was wide, just
like an ant.

Excellent, a whole new aspect of satellite observation!

Cheers,
Jason.
