I saw the same pass as John from 34.0954° N, 84.0450° W (near Atlanta, Georgia) as well as a pass a few minutes ago around 0313 UT. During both passes, Atlantis was about half as bright as ISS and during the second pass, I timed Atlantis trailing by about 70 seconds. I was surprised at the relative dimness of Atlantis tonight compared to last night's pass around 0352 UT when both seemed to be nearly equal in brightness. As was brought up in a different thread, H-A didn't show predictions for Atlantis during tonight's passes. I think this might be due to the site not generating any predictions after the original scheduled landing time.
