 Got a good peek at the Priroda Module on its way to Mir tonight.
 Date/Time: April 25, 0313 UT.
 Location: Colorado, USA; 39.9N, 105.4W
 Elevation: about 23 degrees.
 Magnitude: +2.0, giving a Quicksat intrinsic magnitude of +1.0,
or 2 magnitudes fainter than Mir.
 Priroda was about 14 minutes behind Mir, but I didn't see the
Mir pass because of clouds.
 Tomorrow night they will be only 3 minutes apart.
