With 10x50 binoculars I saw five points of light, nearly equally bright (mag about 3.4). First three were spaced by about 0.2 deg, then a gap of about 0.4 deg, last two again spaced by 0.2 deg. Close to delta And I timed the passage through a pair of stars: First Satellite passed 18:42:34.7, last 18:42:37.5 UTC. Shadow entry of last satellite was at 18:42:51 UTC. I don't know which of the satellites was the Soyuz. Time was about 34 seconds late with the above elset.
