    From my location NOSS 2-1 just passed over right when/where predicted using:
    1 20642U 90050E   04179.95605758 0.00000010  00000-0  12107-4 0    03
    2 20642  63.4130 117.6154 0373000 356.5216   3.4784 13.40453875    05
    
    As someone reported here a few days ago, they were brighter than I've seen them
    before with at least two being easily visible naked eye from my semi rural location.
    
    There was a large cloud covering the area I had planned to watch so I was forced
    to look through holes in the clouds.  I was surprised when I found all three in
    a single large hole but even more surprised when I noticed the hole was moving
    at the same speed and in the same direction as the satellites.  So, for over two
    minutes I was able to watch all three through the one hole.
