It stays low: it rises in the south, reaches 12° and sets in the south-east 3 minutes later, so look for a clear view that way.

Good to know
- A pass can be seen when the station is still in sunlight while the sky over Surgut is dark, in the hours after sunset or before dawn. It looks like a bright, steady star crossing the sky in a few minutes.
- The times are predicted from the latest published orbital elements, not observed, and cloud isn’t taken into account.
- Passes are counted from 10° above the horizon, where buildings and haze stop hiding them.
