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.
