        0   00:24:28.04   -2
    32.70   00:25:00.74    0
    21.92   00:25:22.66   -4* (or -2; may have switched it)
    22.05   00:25:44.71   -2* (or -4; may have switched it)
    22.19   00:26:06.90   +1
    
    *By the time I wrote down the magnitudes, I was unsure of 
    which of the two indicated was -4 and which was -2.
    
    Besides the Soyuz itself, ISS, Mir, Cosmos 2370 (26354, 
    00-026A), and good old FleetSatCom 4 Rk (12069, 80-087B) 
    made very nice passes.  However, the Soyuz TM-31 rocket 
    was a non-obs for me.  
    
    By accident last night I noticed that the CBS News program 
    "60 Minutes II" was having a segment on USA anti-missile 
    defense system plans.  About 12:30 into the program, they 
    showed what looked to me like a photo of a NOSS triangle, 
    even though the discussion was about the problem of 
    distinguishing warheads from decoys.  The story isn't on
    the program's Web site as yet, it seems.
