Hi folks: Just in time ( minutes to spare) to check that ISS had an overhead pass near Crux from Robert's Skymap. I stick my head out of my window to my surprised found the STS-100 itself followed by the much much brighter orange-yellow ISS some 35 seconds later on similar trajectory. As this is the corridor for commercial jets I pick up my 7x50s and verify both had no tell-tales sign of blinking light. I follow ISS until it dim off shortly after passing gamma Centauri into earth's shadow. Wonder whether Mr Tito - had recover from his first experience of space-sickness by now. rgds ykChia ( call me yK ) Singapore 103.80255E, 1.445 N, +20m, +8 GMT http://www.geocities.com/ykchia_1999/index.html ----------------------------------------------------------------- Unsubscribe from SeeSat-L by sending a message with 'unsubscribe' in the SUBJECT to SeeSat-L-request@lists.satellite.eu.org http://www2.satellite.eu.org/seesat/seesatindex.html
