I managed to observe Soyuz TMA11 and its booster this evening. The booster came first passing Alpha Ser at 17:55:01 UTC (10-OCT-2007). It flared slightly irregularly to negative mags about every two seconds. I was surprised about this - what I had expected was some much slower change in brightness. Has anyone observed such quick flares of a Soyuz booster before? Soyuz TMA11 followed about 10 seconds after the booster reaching almost mag 0 close to Vega high in the sky when I lost track of it due to a roof getting in my way.
