As it was clear outside, so I setup my tripod mounted 10*50 binoculars.

I managed to see my first geo sat flare this morning. I spotted the galaxy 
11 satellite this moring around 1:05 EST. I would say it was around mag 7.3 
when I saw it.
Thats all I saw so far for geo sats.
Nice to see a geo sat with only binoculars.

Kevin
