    From my vantage point northeast of you, ISS was brightest as it moved 
    east then northeast of me.  Discovery entered shadow well before it would 
    have reached a similar portion of its track.  Observers south of my 
    location may well have seen Discovery appear much brighter.  My guesses 
    for a QuickSat intrinsic magnitude value may be off somewhat, too.
