I seem to recall there was to be a Progress supply craft this month, might be worth hecking on the NASA site.

Cheers,
Jason.

Vincent,

The other craft is the SOYUZ-TMA 15.

+1 for Starry Night Pro Plus.

Hmm...it was much fainter than +1
After some google search I think it's more likely the newly undocked Russian cargo spaceship Progress M-02M:

Not 100% sure though

No, no, I meant +1 for Starry Night Pro Plus, as in, a point.

I just got back from a run and need to stretch. Once I've finished and have had some food, I'll take some screenshots for you.

Regards,
Humayun
