Observed the same pass from my home a little south of Houston, location approximately 29.554N 95.365W. Also managed a few 16-sec exposures with my digital camera with my recent acquisition of a tripod. They're nothing compared to the tracks and images taken by others on the list, but pretty satisfactory to me as a first-timer. (As an avid follower of Soyuz and Progress flights, I wish I'd had the tripod on September 27 when Progress M1-9 was trailing ISS by a few degrees during an 80+ deg elevation pass over Houston...)

Less than ideal pass, rising straight up in the northwest, going into Earth's shadow pretty soon. The Space Shuttle was much brighter. The sky conditions were less than ideal also, but at least they were good enough! Time was about 1:41-1:42 Oct 17 UTC. My location was the campus of The University of Texas at Austin, 30.286N, 97.739W, 150m. No stopwatch -- just watched them. Three security guards asked me what I was doing, so they got to see them also.
