The ISS magnitudes listed on Heavens-Above are not adjusted for the docked Shuttle. Strictly they should be, of course, but it's one of those things we never got round to yet.

A friend of mine asked this question. "Is the ISS magnitude listed on Heavens-Above currently adjusted to reflect the shuttle's added brightness, or is it still just the brightness of the ISS?" Great question. Anyone have an answer for this? Thanks!
