Just seen a very low altitude pass of Progress M1-11 and ISS, Progress passing south of beta Corvus at 21:16:55 UTC at about 10 degrees altitude, about 22.5 minutes before ISS. The observation was made with 20 x 80 binoculars. ISS was seen by naked eye at an elevation of only 8 degrees, disappearing behind the St. Peter Church just before it would have been entering into shadow atabout 21:39 UTC. An attempt to see the near-decay SL-4 rocket 28262 in deep twilight about 20:44 failed, due to the combination of twilight and very low altitude pass I guess. - Marco ------ Marco Langbroek Leiden, the Netherlands 52.15896 N, 4.48884 E (WGS 84) e-mail: meteorites@dmsweb.org website: http://home.wanadoo.nl/marco.langbroek weblog: http://home.wanadoo.nl/marco.langbroek/iss_log.html ------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
