Hi Ted ! I saw the same pass but by pure luck. Sky was almost overcast but I went outside to watch just in case. Nothing was seen. I then got back inside the house and decided after a few seconds to get out again realising I had still about 30 seconds left before shadow entry. There they appeared at about 02:36:15 UTC for about 5 or 6 seconds through a miraculous hole in the clouds. A beautiful sight with ISS having a distinctive orange color compared to the white trailing Shuttle. No reference stars were seen, so I could not tell the magnitudes. They seemed about 2 degrees apart.

Beautiful sight, as always. ISS appeared to be yellowish; the shuttle white. I timed them as they appulsed a couple of stars in LEO. They were about 3.4 s apart = 26 km, about as predicted using the NASA elements I posted earlier.
