Have you seen the Mayak satellite?

Mayak - Visible Passes

You may have to go up to the right corner and change the location as this link is set to mine or try this and put in your own www.heavens-above.com/PassSummary.aspx?satid=42830 It uses Google maps which makes it easy.

Not sure I'll be able to see it as it is pretty low on the horizon here (10 degrees) and there's a mountain range in the way

Can someone give me a quick ijurts guide?.. I set it to "England" and accepted the default settings, but couldnt get any further than that, either its not passing this way at all, or I made a complete mess of it?.

[Edit] Update, I got this, www.heavens-above.com/gtrack.aspx?satid=42830&mjd=57952.9901972078&lat=52.3555&lng=-1.1743&loc=England&alt=104&tz=GMT

That shows it passes just to the east/east south east, of the UK, 19th [today] at between 00:43 to 00:49 "At quite a speed".
I will play a little more to see if it gets around again more overhead to my own locality....
