I'm assuming it's moving in the same plane and at the same speed as Mir itself, as it was visible at the same spot for three seconds (before I lost Mir and only reaquired it 30 seconds later). In the image, Mir is about 15 arcseconds long and wide (it's 30x35 meters), but I don't know if we're looking at it and seeing it at maximum size.
