Progress is docked to the ISS.

The docking was completely automatic, no intervention from the crew was necessary.

Clarification from CDR 27: the docking WAS automatic. Source: Col.Kondratiev's blog.

Damn, I just noticed the reversed order of image numbers! :rofl:

I should have really checked the source of images at NASA and not repost them straight from another forum! :blush:
