I saw this thing moving across the sky tonight and I have no idea what it could be. It looked like a satellite, then a space, and then a bar of light. It was at an angle and moving to the right. Any ideas?

Orbitrack app on Google Play removed?
Does anyone else use the Orbitrack app for Android? I purchased it on the 21st. Worked great for a few days.
Then yesterday it said it couldn't find a GPS connection.
Now today, it says I have no license. And I can't find the app on the Google Play store anymore (there's another app now with the same name but from a different company - Orbi Lab, instead of the original SouthernStars).
The support link to Southern Stars goes to a page does not exist error, though the rest of the site still exists.
I emailed the company for support. Anyone else experiencing this?

Looking to learn more about satellites as a geomatics major!
Hey all! I am a geomatics student, for those that don't know what it is, it's about surveying, global positioning systems, geographical information systems, remote sensing, cartography, and more.
Basically engineering/technology + maths + geography + computer science.
Anyways, I study about satellites a lot in remote sensing, and GPS. I'm very fascinated about how they work, alongside with the dishes.
Anything you could suggest to me so I could become more knowledgeable in satellites, and potentially have a career involving them? Any courses, software I should get, books, and things like that.
TIA.

For the first time ever I saw a satellite(?) that was blinking. The light was undulating smoothly, getting brighter, then darker (never going 100%dark) for about 2 minutes until it was gone. Im no expert, but I could tell by its arc that it was lower than those high up and dim satellites. Thoughts?

Where might this dish be pointing and what could it be used for?
I recently saw this dish in a neighbours garden when visiting my relatives in Hollabrunn, Austria. The dish is pointing approximately at 40 degrees NE. What satellites are in that direction and at that elevation (probably around 60-70 degrees)?
