    Managed to catch both ISS and Discovery this afternoon as they  zipped 
across the Sun.
Less than half the size of the station , Discovery was very faint but just 
visible.

You'll need your Xray specs to see Discovery ! .....I suggest letting the 
WMV play through a couple of times in full screen mode.
