Hi All, For those in the Calgary area, Znamya should illuminate the city for at least some portion of its west-to-east zenith pass on Thursday evening, February 4, from 6:24 - 6:29:45pm MST. This pass has a culmination less than 5 degrees from zenith, so even without the huge mirror, Mir will reach magnitude -1 or brighter. Shadow entry is low in the east a little before 6:30pm. Vancouver, British Columbia is well-placed for the following pass. Mir and Progress rise out of the WNW, reaching 30 degree elevation at 7:00pm PST. At 7:00:45, the complex flies right over the Andromeda Galaxy, and gamma-And 15 seconds later. Culmination is about 80 degrees above the south-southwest at 7:01:15. Shadow entry begins about 15 seconds later. The complex should disappear very close to beta-Tauri. at 7:00:15pm PST, passes beta-Cas at 7:01 at mag 0 and eta-Cas at 7:01:15 at mag -0.6. Culmination occurs at 7:01:30, 75-deg above the NNE, just as sunset is occurring aboard Mir. --Rob
