I glanced at the HA list of >4.5 mag satellite
and noticed one coming up - a rocket body
so i expect a tumbling signature and reposition.
True enough the it dimmed and gradually brighten leaving
a 'drawn-out' brightness envelope.

creating a 4 Z-frames from avi and IRIS add_max2 stacked
Then i went out to field to look at the real stars
Moon and Gem's Castor Pollux .. clouds drifted in making a haloed moon - Regulus - Saturn towards the east ( Comet Lulin should be in Cancer...). Big patches of clear sky and in the SE - the 'False Cross' rising
When i returned I glanced at monitor - the automatic video detection
bagged one random meteor and another short 'line' created by a flaring satellite
