Details:
After it was dropped from ISS on 6th December I tried to photograph it in the evening but too many clouds intervened. On 7th December sky was very hazy at home so I went to the nearby hills where humidity was a bit lower.
Cygnus came as Calsky predicted but it was a lot brighter, despite the still light blue sky the small ship was easy to spot, it's peak brightness was cca. +2,5 mag. (Prediction was +4 mag.)
Cygnus will remain above until 18th December when it would reenter the atmosphere and burn there. Our weather would not help having more observations according to the forecasts...
