Good clear pass by the station tonight which I watched mainly naked eye to 
see if there was any sign of a flare.
Magnitude seemed steady enough , although fade was rapid with the complex 
entering shadow a golden brown colour

With the new  array in place ISS looked as if it belonged in the pages  of 
Don Quixote !
