Last night,7th dec.,I observed ISS pass 18:20-18:22 GMT.The reddish ISS was followed by the white Shuttle,less than 0.5 deg. apart(according to the NASA website,this was less than 2 hours prior to docking).It was a splendid sight and gave me a real 21st century feeling. Predictions from Heavens-Above for that day indicated that the Shuttle would precede ISS and follow a quite different orbit.Why was there such a discrepancy between the predictions and my observations? Anyway,clear skies have been a bit of a rarity round here recently so it was good to get out with the 10x50's last night. Good observing!
