Hi, Just had some nice passes over Belgium here. The ATV, predicted with Heavens Above was some 6 minutes late. Using the Space Track elements I had a correct pass at 4:25 UTC. Mag +1. The combined STS123 and ISS was rather surprising bright with a pass of at least mag -6 to -8(the max brightness of a Iridium flare !) Looking through small binoculars(8X50mm), I thought they were still separated. It certainly wasnt just a bright moving dot but rather almost two dots moving very close together although they were docked in reality.
