Satellite - SeaSat 1

Date Observed: April 3, 2009 at 10:47 pm

Object Observed: Satellite – SeaSat 1

Magnitude: 3.2

Observations: The sky was beautiful tonight. I wish I could have gone out somewhere where they were not a lot of lights out, because the stars are much more incredible without so much background light. The SeaSat 1 looked just like a small moving star. It seemed to be moving towards the SW and towards the zenith.
