Description

Over the course of 360 seconds (3 120s exposures) a slow moving blinking object ran across the 0.6Degree field of view.  Given the consistent brightness change, and the amount of time it took the object to cross the FOV it's reasonable to conclude its a satellite in Geo that is tumbling.
