Ok, this is very weird, I’m browsing through the Progress rocket frames and in the first part of the pass, in every frame there seems to be a single part visible next to the rocket, separated by a space. It can be a special lighting angle and that only parts of the rocket are illuminated, but it looks very rare, never seen before. In the other part of the pass, the rocket shows in every frame another orientation, this can be well explained by tumbling. Results later.

Frames look very nice, will process tomorrow! Progress M10M pass was WNW-SSW, 45 deg SSE culm, distance 333 km, angular velocity: 1.37°/s, so has already climbed, better to track. Progress M10M rocket pass was WNW-SSE, 56 deg SW culm, distance 212 km, angular velocity: 2.16°/s, very difficult to track but got frames!
