    Cirrus in the sky, and twilight. This time of the year sees eternal twilight at 
    my latitude (52 N), and near local midnight the sky is still clearly bluish.
    
    09-001A (USA 202/Mentor 4) remained hidden behind a low cirrus bank. 02-001A 
    (Milstar 5), somewhat higher in the sky and more to the west, is well visible on 
    the images, as is the commercial geosat 99-071A (Galaxy 11). The latter is much 
    fainter than it was in mid-May.
