Hello Bruce and all, I put on my special lenses to beat the cloaking device ;-) and saw the same pass you refered to culminating at 04:16:56 EDT from my location in Quebec. Maximum mag was reached before culmination at -2. It passed nearly overhead and took my first picture of a sat. Will have to wait for the film to be processed before seeing the result. From your location, the ISS did indeed pass overhead at 04:15:20 from azimuth 240 to 60. It came out of shadow at around 04:14:45 at about 53 degrees elevation. Yesterday, I saw both modules beeing 1 min 44 sec apart pass under the Moon just like in the beautiful pictures taken by Olivier Staiger (congratulations!). Zarya and Unity were the brightest at mag 0 and Zvezda was mag +1. I saw the docking live on NASA TV with my newly installed C-band satellite dish. At last, I won't have to worry about net congestion and low quality images. We could see the manoeuvring engines fire many times to slow Zarya before initial contact.
