Details:
Cosmos 1220 Russian satellite was predicted to reenter our atmosphere today at dawn. Before that I had a flyby, and took the last chance to catch the satellite. Calsky predicted the flyby at 01:35 UT, it was low above my horizon, but still visible. The satellite came exactly the perfect time and location, it was tumbling (like many decaying satellites), it was very faint, but visible.
I animated the flyby:
