Details:
Two passes were seen. On the first pass at a range of 1700km it was magnitude 5 when normally it would be invisible (elevation 14, azimuth 38). On the second pass it was seen naked eye beginning 10 deg above the NW passing overhead at magnitude +1, just 40 minutes before sunrise. Wonderful sight! Brightest star in the photo is Epsilon Leonis magnitude 3.0.
