Hello everybody,
    Despite overnight rain, clouds in an inconvenient position and a
bright Moon I just observed the passage of the separated ISS and
STS-121. Observing at 5.40am local time, using the unaided eye from a
suburban location in Newcastle, Australia both objects were bright and
obvious with the shuttle trailing the space station by approximately 1
degree (measured in the traditional way by using the width of the thumb
with the arm extended).
