Here is my video of two Cosmos rocket bodies.The interesting thing about these rocket bodies is that that fly in an orbit that is within a couple of kilometers of each other and about once a year that can be observed flying almost next to each other if you are in the right location on the planet.Basically one rocket body will over take and pass the other rocket body over a period of three or four days.This morning when I imaged these rocket bodies they were flying about 48 seconds apart.Tomorrow morning they will be with in about 7 seconds of each other.I should be able to get them in the same field of view at the same time if weather holds. These two rockets were used by Russia to launch spy satellites that listen in on radio and telephone communications back in the late 80's and mid 90's. In the video I have removed the 48 seconds between their passes. www.youtube.com/watch?v=3o0_hR0HPPUPlease do enjoy! Thomas the Flash
