Docking to the ISS occurred at 0502 UTC as planned. Nice picture coverage on NASA-TV with a close call when the feed from the Progress camera was lost for a few minutes just before docking! Unfortunately the pass I have in two hours time (and probably passes for the next few days as well) is almost certain to be obscured by cloud owing to a very bad weather system heading this direction, so I won't see the ISS looking nice and bright - already almost 100 percent cloud cover. It would seem that if a boost is required (as seems likely given its present altitude) this would be a good time between EVAs and before the crew change due in October. No indication of maneuvers as yet but may be worth watching for updates.
