Love that header don't you :) Well, we did see ISS/Shuttle last night and it was great. 20mi west of Seattle 5:11pm local time. Great geometry, it went right overhead 75deg elevation and then almost 100% illumination before it went into shadow about 25 degrees above the horizon. I have seen a lot of passes and I am estimating it at -6+ at max, possibly the brightest pass I have seen. Also, as it approached until it was 45 degrees high it had a distinct reddish color noticed by all 3 of us. Could have been the atmosphere but it was very clear so I think it had a red tint and not from low Sun because it was still 5 minutes to shadow immersion. Are the solar panels or something red?
