I estimated it to be fainter than alpha Aql (mag. +0.8) but brighter than the other visible stars in the area, some of which wr behind clouds though. I had not much time to assess the brightness however between triggering the camera, seeing the Progress amidst clouds and then seeing it go into eclipse. Luckily I quote a +/- of 1 mag in my reports... :-p - Marco ----- Dr Marco Langbroek - SatTrackCam Leiden, Cospar 4353 Leiden, the Netherlands. 52.15412 N, 4.49081 E (WGS84), +0 m ASL SatTrackCam: http://home.wanadoo.nl/marco.langbroek/satcam.html Station (b)log: http://sattrackcam.blogspot.com Atom RSS: http://sattrackcam.blogspot.com/atom.xml e-mail: sattrackcam@wanadoo.nl ----- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Subscribe/Unsubscribe info, Frequently Asked Questions, SeeSat-L archive: http://www.satobs.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
