I was out in the yard getting something out of the car tonight, and as I am
wont to do, looked up at the nice clear winter sky. I noticed something
moving W to E, nice and bright. Although the path was similar to airliners
coming in from the Gulf to Tampa International, this wasn't a plane. Nor was
it ISS, as Pocketsat3 quickly confirmed. The straight W-E movement, and my
location at 28 and change north, suggested an orbit of similar inclination.
It plainly blinked out just before 19:41 local, just as it was approaching
Gemini. My gut reaction was maybe the new Chinese mini-station?
Heaven's Above made it easy to search for visual passes, and the best match
was an obvious one. Hubble Space Telescope matched my observations, with a
max magnitude of 0.7. I had no idea it was so bright!
Just a neat experience I thought some satellite types might appreciate, and
it all happened by accident from just looking up.

That's neat! I love seeing stuff like that.
Once I saw the ISS on a bright overhead pass, followed by the space
shuttle (probably hundreds of miles behind it) It was a once in a
lifetime sight.
On another note, once my Sister in Law called me, very excited, and told
me to go out and look to the west, the moon was HUGE and RED!!
I thought, hmm. I don't think there's an eclipse tonight, but went out
to look anyway. To the east, was the moon, normal as can be. I
thought for a minute, and busted out laughing! her house backs up to a
shopping center, and they had a big RED weather balloon flying above,
with the parking lot lights illuminating it, I remember seeing it. I
called her and she confirmed... she was so embarrassed, but it's a funny
story now!

Don't know how many of you are looking for an IC-9100.
How about this one on Ebay:

No, I am not the seller or affiliated.
