I was lucky to see all three manned craft tonight, I think that's a first for me. Did not think I would see the Shuttle and ISS but luckily a gap in the clouds formed at just the right time.

But a reasonable gap opened up for a very nice pass. A Bunch of photos I got at: http://www.kevin-lee.co.uk/iss260309/index.html Starting with the shuttle rising in the west. A nice indication of the curvature of the earth. Them both going through Orion, before they hit the cloud towards the west. Also managed to see a very bright USA 129 flare and the NOSS 2-1 triplet. Good hour in the end.
