ISS + cargoship naked eye visible?
Wednesday the new cargoship is expected to arrive at the ISS. I can see the ISS with the naked eye. What about the soyouz etc, prior to docking? Would love to see 2 moving stars, one following the other. Henk, PA3GUO
Actually viewed this type of event when the last US Shuttle was leaving the ISS. Very clear night and you could see both very brightly, separated but in the same path. Hope you get to see it. 73 Bill K3SV

My son and I got to see the ISS, Shuttle, and Progress supply ship one night some years ago.
It was pretty neat the see all three of them sailing along up there!

Thanks to all that responded! Well, I did see the ISS (progress docked but you wint see that without great telescope), and 4 minutes later Dragon. Dragon was not as bright as ISS but well visible. Was at 03:25am local time (CET). Warm night, no cloud, clear sky. Will try again tomorrow morning (20th, 03:32am local time = CET). Dragon will and should be close to ISS. Anyone else in for fun?

Good work! Too bad you can't talk to them at the same time! ("NORDO" when something is docking/undocking).
