I recorded a dedicated patch of the night sky for 20 minutes with an iGen NV20/20 monocular with a composite output to a Canon MiniDV camcorder. The iGen has a 2.6x fixed magnification.
Found this interesting object recorded at 3:47am North at 50 degrees altitude.
Reviewing Heavens-Above out to their 5+ magnitude limit shows Cosmos 1833 rocket at 35 degrees NNE 3:34am ending at 10 degrees NNE at 3:37am. There are no Iridium flares showing on their chart for the AM and this object appears to be only visible for a few seconds before dimming down.
One time I saw a satelite by chance. I was just glancing around at the stars with field binoculars and I noticed one of them was moving. It was pretty cool
