Dear List,

      I had the pleasure of watching a real nice pair of passes by the
above-mentioned satellites earlier this evening with about a 30 minute
interval between passes. The ISS was easily at 0.2 mag as indicated by
Heavens-Above. As for the SOYUZ-TM33 pass, it lasted about 90 seconds
and was also quite bright ... probably mag +2 in the worst case
scenario. I acquired the satellite  at about 15-deg alt in the northwest
and observed it go north of Polaris, through Cepheus and eventually set
in the south-west.

Anthony.
