Space X - Dragon Launch Today
Discussion
A bit. Dragon isn't that big so will only increase the reflectivity by a decimal point or two.
Migt be able to see the pair over the UK before docking - if you get up early enough.
Just seen a lovely shot of the Dragon crossing the eastern coastline of South Africa as the ISS and Dragon start across the Indian Ocean.

Did you note the little dig when He commented Atlanta being the last American craft sighted over a year ago?

Bad timing in that they are going to have a four minute loss of signal (LOS) just at the moment of closest approach.

And the ISS passes directly overhead.
