At 19:40 I saw ISS rise in the west among clouds. Near zenit it became mag -3; disappeared bhind a cloud. Weakly shining through the cloud I saw it enter shadow. The two craft were too close to be seen saperately; just 3 minutes before grapple. Saw the whole approach and capture on NASA TV. Yesterday I went inside too soon to see HTV after ISS. Didn't expect it still 6 minutes behind. Had some internet access trouble and could not log in on HA.
