The ISS passed L->R below Polaris about 15 deg above the horizon at 0:32 UTC, 20 April. STS-100 made virtually the same pass 33 minutes later. Both objects were visible at 1x - the ISS at about a +1mag, the shuttle at a 0 mag. For the next few days there will be visible evening passes in the NE USA if the weather cooperates. Iridium 77 (with a "?") flared to a predicted -4 mag at 0:42:30 UTC. No secondary flare was observed for the next 90 seconds.
