    I appreciate your effort to record this high Kosmos-rocket. I am
    wondering whether this object is accelarating. Therefore it is
    interesting to follow it longer. Unfortunately it stops evening
    visibility from our (northern) latitudes.
    
    May be morning transits are possible, I have to find out.
    
    Best regards,
