Saw Atlantis 04h42 MESZ (02H42 GMT) this morning from Vétroz near Sion/Switzerland. Had lots of clouds but got lucky in between. Very bright and high in the sky. Interesting: When I looked at 03h45 local time at the heavens-above website and clicked on STS101 or on ISS, none of them were predicted . But then I go on the link that says "all satellites" and as it would show the passes for this coming evening I clicked on " previous AM" which was now and here, and bingo ! the pass was predicted , Atlantis at mag -1.2 , followed 20 seconds later by ISS at mag 0.2. Comparing this info with another source (from Nasa) for Zurich confirmed that I should see it, at dawn. I filmed it with a video camera and will try to work on the images to see if a shape can be seen. Tomorrow I should see it again, shortly before landing, but clouds will probably be a big trouble for me.
