>Shenzhou was about a +2 mag for most of its short pass in the western sky >(23:48). Before it entered eclipse it brightened to about a +1 mag. My only obs of this had it closer to 7th magnitude. >The Shenzhou Rk flashed to about a -1 mag once. As it was passing at the >same time as the Shenzhou, I basically ignored it to concentrate on the >Shenzhou In my opinion the rocket is more interesting. Tonight I have a pass to the north of zenith so its flash characteristics may be different than observed before. It is possible it may be very bright for a longer time if last nights zenith pass is an indicator.
