Today morning I've seen SL-04 R/B passsing over my city (San Pedro, Argentina). It was very fast and it's brightness varied from been unseen to be brighter than Mars. It gave many flashes. Only 4 minutes later appeared the ISS with the Endeavour docked. Their trajectories were very similar and I took a photograph of both of them in the same negative. Unfortunately because of the incipient twilight, the extention of the shot (more than 5 minutes) and the variations in brightness and speed of the SL-04, I could only registrate the ISS pass. Nevertheless I have a previous negative of only 10 seconds (the shutter closed because of a problem of the cable) were I can see a small trace of the rocket with evident fluctuations of brightness. I'll copy the two negatives tomorrow and I'll put it in my web site.
