Aug 20, 2001 Partly cloudy, (weather poor for over ten days here) but did manage to observe 26881 low in the south. I was using recently acquired 20x50's with a 2.5 to 3d FOV, large error factor as I could only guesstimate its passage below Mars, no other reference stars. 26881 01 033B 8936 F 20010820015819110 18 25 1720671-284231 49 S+036 10 ISS, running four and a half minutes late from: ISS 1 25544U 98067A 01229.12832818 .00149839 00000-0 19217-2 0 3559 2 25544 51.6413 141.4613 0008628 14.3358 125.6805 15.58094013156599 Better agreement with Kenneth Ernandes posted elset for STS-105, below, observed naked eye and ISS seemed a degree or two lower than prediction for sts-105 passing below and outside of Alpha Cepheus and n Cepheus.
