Unfortunately, the path just grazes your northern horizon, never rising. The track can be seen at; http://albums.photopoint.com/j/ViewPhoto?u=940828&a=2571482&p=29674175 The Shuttle's ascent burn is not visible from Europe. The Shuttle is just passing New York City when the main engines cut off. However, as posted on SeeSat, the external tank can be seen separated from the Shuttle from Europe.
