    Hello,
    
    A few hours before docking, I saw Endeavour and ISS passing at a maximum
    height of about 10 degrees today.  They were spaced by some 3 degrees with
    Endeavour probably as the leader.
    
    The first satellite was about one magnitude brighter(mag 0) than the
    second.  The second satellite(which I presume was ISS) had a reddish
    colour.(which can be expected from ISS).
    
    Transit was at 17h49m UTC over Belgium.
    
    Maybe some pictures on the BWGS site tomorrow.
    
    Greetings,
