Saw the complex this morning ours at 1718 UTC (not exact to the second) on a high shadow entry. Pass commenced in clear sky, but then went into light cloud where the complex was so initially bright that it created a small halo in the clouds (a good mag -4 or more) then got lost in the clouds as it faded. Imagine what it is going to look like when they attach a shuttle!

I just sent this to John to confirm how good it was... I imaged the ISS on the same pass as John when it was just about to pass into eclipse to my east. www.tvcomm.co.uk/radio/files/ISS-20080403_AndySmith.jpg The image is not that great, until you understand that it was a hand-held shot, taken with a Canon EOS-400 with a 55mm lens, 1600 ASA, F5.6, 0.6 sec exposure, and a small child trying to grab the camera at the same time! It's amazing what's possible!
