Steady bright light over Los Angeles

I had decided to get some air after working in my apartment all day. I grabbed my 20x binoculars and sat down on the 2nd floor landing facing to the west. It was a clear night and I was looking at the planes coming toward LAX about 12 to 15 miles away.

In a couple of minutes I noticed a fairly bright and steady light coming from the west to the east. This was at about 12 miles.

I focused my binoculars on it and didn't notice any wing or strobe lights. I continued to watch it and after about 30 to 45 seconds began a turn toward the south. This was probably at about 8 miles.

I still didn't notice any wing or strobe lights. Unlike an airplane, the light continued to remain steady when it turned and as it moved away.
