Probably the last clear evening of this nice weather period. Moon, Venus and Jupiter low on the southwestern horizon. At 20:04 UT ISS made a nice, bright mag -3 pass. Saw it enter earthshadow. It stayed visible for several seconds, getting more and more redish. Later saw a bright object low in the north. When looking at it with bino's I saw a second, fainter object. The moved together to the horizon. I suspect them to be 01- 44 A and B.
