    I saw the same triplet pass last night, but the sky was completely clear
    for me.  ATV came first at 0 mag.  ISS followed about 4 minutes later at
    -4 mag.  STS-123 was following ISS by about 40 secs at -2.  It's not very
    often I get to see two negative magnitude objects at the same time.
    
    Usually the Shuttle is leading ISS after undocking so I'm wondering why
    the Shuttle was behind this time.
