I see that my CalSky predicted pass for ISS tonight ( 52 degs ) is forecast 
as -4.5 mag  !

I suspect we wont see that , but wondered why the sudden increase.......
Adding Endeavour to the complex doesnt usually increase brightness any. 
...   but I am wondering if the programme has simply computed the sum of the 
magnitude of the two individual vehicles.
