The R/B decayed earlier than the pass I was referring to. There was however some chance of it decaying over our Central North Island early this morning on a shadow pass, the indications are it did not as there has been nothing on the news. The Spacetrack report indicates a rather close call in terms of timing but less likely in terms of location. It was quite cloudy here so visible checks were inconclusive and in view of it being in shadow it would have had to be in the actual throes of decay before I would have any chance of seeing anything. Weather is looking doubtful for any further ISS, Progress or STS passes (or any others for that matter!)
