I only have time to submit a brief report but the ISS/STS were observed this morning on a shadow exit pass in perfect conditions to the south of here as they docked "over the South Pacific." Exit occurred at 17:58:16 UTC- not particularly bright not reaching more than about mag 0 , was hard to pick out at first but then brightened a little. Docking occurred at 1802 by which time it was passing over the horizon. The complexity of the complex (!) was visible to some degree with binoculars.
