Default Shenzhou VII

Just viewed a pass of Shenzhou VII last night and it occultated Alioth
as it passed through the Big Dippers handle. I could only see it with
binoculars as it was a dim 2.9 mag. and sporting a yellowish hue.

Tonights viewing schedule shows it will be higher in altitude around
70 degrees and a mag. of 2.0 but the view of the pass will be short
lived enter into the earths shadow at near zenith.
