Aug. 2, 2001 Coronas SL 14 R/B 26874 01 032B 8936 F 20010802030202690 57 25 2014770+640908 19 S+044 10 The RB is noticabley brighter than the satellite, R/B predicted at 4.8, comparing it to SAO 18897, mag 4.3 (I think Theta Cepheus, the skymap label looks like a figure 8 and I don't see a figure 8 in my greek alphabet, so theta comes close) it seems to be similar magnitude, I'm reporting 4.4 . Coronas Satellite, 26873, also observed trailing about 10 secs per latest OIG elsets, dimmer than the booster at near predicted 4.9, no data point for this one. Like the previous obs posted of this group, I was unable to acquire the 26875 and 26876 debris objects predicted at 5.2 . ISS a nice bright steady pass through UMa.
