    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.

    It was cloudy before and after the ~8pm UK ISS/Shuttle pass tonight. 
    But a reasonable gap opened up for a very nice pass.
    
    A Bunch of photos I got at:

    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.
