Hello,

Progress M1-4 was launched last night and I stood up early this morning to
try an observation of Progress and its rocket.

No clouds and the first which appeared was the Soyuz
rocket(2000-64B/26571).  I observed(and photographed) it in Gemini at
5h02m57s UTC.  It was flashing with approximately 3 seconds.
Progress M1-4(2000-64A/26570) followed almost the same path in 57 seconds.

Both objects were somewhat brighter than magnitude +2.

Greetings,
