Details:
A bright pass of NASA's ACS3 Solar Sail satellite last night. Since the sail was deployed at the end of August it flares with magnitudes up to about +1. Last night on an easterly pass here it did vary in brightness but was visible to the unaided eye for almost the entire pass. The photo (taken at 21:04 CEST) shows it at its brightest in the southeastern sky.
