Hello,

I just observed the Soyuz rocket passing by at 20h09m UTC just beneath
Aquila and flashing with approximately 5s, mag +2.  It was very hazy and the
sun was just a few degrees under the horizon.  I didn't see the Soyuz but it
must have been close to the rocket.
Mir was following at 18m.
I'll try again tomorrow.  There should be a Progress close to Mir.


There were still no elements available at OIG.


Greetings,
