As predicted the cloud rolled in overnight , but I ventured out at 0200 GMT to try and see the station (0219) and Progress.(0231) There was a thin high layer , with thicker broken cloud below..interspersed with a few gaps to the west....and south east. Here's ISS ( what little I saw of it )......only thing of note is that in frame 8 we get a fleeting glimpse of two of the solar panels on ATV http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/satcom_transits/station.gif Progress , much fatser , was just a faint "blob" at 400km downrange , had there not been a thin cloud layer I suspect the panels would have been resolved. Above about 40 degs it was obscured. http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/satcom_transits/prog001.gif John ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
