Thanks to Bob Christy's warning and search TLE I was able to observe Progess M60 In the evening twilight ( 08 36 29.4 UT May 12) 64 seconds and 2.9 degrees offsett from the Search ephemeris according to Mike McCant's programme FINDSAT. It was however on 1 second of time and 0.4 degrees off position relative to Space track's latests TLE epoch ...2.398 31303 07 017A 8597 F 20070512083629400 27 25 1325800-110200 48 S+010 05 The given position was .25 degrees below Spica The ISS made an overhead pass 19 minutes later , reaching magnitude -2.5 at 45 degrees elevation in the SE, at the most favorable phase angle. Observation is in IOD format I think this is the first time I have seen a progress supply ship!
