    Hi all,
    
    Just observed a low (max 28 degrees elevation) pass of the ISS and the Orbital-1 
    Cygnus close together.
    
    Orbital-1 Cygnus was faint and for a considerable part of the pass I couldn't 
    see it naked eye from my town location. It however briefly flared to mag +1.5 
    near 05:57:05 UT, already low  in the SE and the pair was then readily visible 
    for a short while.
    
    I estimate (have not measured yet) that the two were about 8 seconds apart in 
    time, with ISS leading.
    
    Image will follow later.
