    Hello All
    Saw a beutiful double pass of ISS and Progress MI 9 this evening. ISS was
    very bright and was preceeded about 5 deg by Progress. Although there was a
    full harvest moon and a thin layering of clouds both ISS and Progress were
    clearly visible. Progress appeared to twinkle  but ISS was steady. When the
    pair was about 50 deg up there was a brilliant (-4 as per HA) iridium flash.
    Beautiful
