Shenzhou 5 sightings



I spotted Shenzhou 5 twice this morning.  The first apparition
came at 5:28 MDT, when it was at sixth magnitude and low on the
horizon.  The second apparition came at 7:01, high and bright as it 
transited more than half the sky--I would say it was first magnitude,
rather than the 3.0 predicted by heavens-above.com (otherwise both
passes were *exactly* as H-A predicted; three cheers for the speed
with which they made the predictions available!)

The booster made a pass at 6:56 AM and was very bright.  It
appears to be tumbling about once every ten seconds.
