Whilst observing around Cygnus last night I spotted a satellite passing through the FOV, I was able to track its path through to Ophiuchus. Checking stellarium this appears to have been RS-22, an "amateur satellite".

( AMSAT - Satellite Detail - RS-22 )

RS-22 a training satellite built by the Mozhaisky military academy in St. Petersburg, Russia. It was launched into a 693 x 675km orbit. RS-22 carries a CW beacon on 70cm that sends telemetry in the form of 16 groups of 5 to 7 characters framed by "rs22". Code is sent at ~5wpm with a pause of approximately 10 seconds between each group.
