Hi Tristan, Shuttle docked with the ISS at 3:49 UTC. I watched it live on NASA TV and at the same time was running a real time animation of the orbit with SatSpy. I realized that European observers would have been able to see two separate but very near objects quite easily because the docking was 24 minutes late and the ISS and Endeavour passed over Europe before sunrise as the shuttle was in front of the station. Shadow exit was at 3:25 UTC.

I believe they said docking succeeded about one hour earlier. I tried to use the link but it seems to be 'forbidden', maybe it isn't active anymore.
