    Gonna be interesting to see and evaluate your obs brightness. During that
    pass, the payload bay doors were closed and Shuttle orientation was so that
    its black belly was facing the sun, quite probably leaving much of the
    white upper side (which was in fact facing you almost directly until shadow
    entry) in its own shadow.
    
    (Negative obs here, unfortunately. That extra thick cloud cover looked
    nice, though...)
    
    
    CU!	Markus
