    As the ISS is close to the terminator we have numerous visible passes so we 
    should have plenty of opportunities, together as previously mentioned with 
    the new Progress and its R/B.   As of last check the TLEs do not yet reflect 
    separation between Progress M-64 and the ISS.  Unfortunately the one pass I 
    might have seen before the clouds moved in was very early in the morning and 
    sleep took priority- shame on me!
    
    The ANDE MAA Sphere is close to decay -  . It could "drop in for Christmas"- 
    however this is quite a small object. We have quite a few passes but some 
    are too low to be of interest here
    
    Weather prospects at this location continue to be quite poor, but hopefully 
    someone down this way will have a chance to observe all these events.
