Just got a telephone call from Wim Holwerda saying that the Soyuz will be
launched sunday aug 19 at 14h49m UT.(hope I got the times right...correct me
if I'm wrong)

Sunday aug 19, Progress M32 will undock from Mir at 18h08m UT BUT WILL STAY
IN ORBIT UNTILL SEPT 3 when it will dock again with Mir to correct its
orbit. There are nice opportunities to observe this at my location and the
weather looks promissing.

Wim(and Bram) also reports that 96-10A/23794, Raduga 33 is a very
interesting object to observe.  It is very nice to see it flashing untill
mag 0(near perigee).
