STS and the ISS in Orion...

See 2 fantastic views of the STS and ISS this evening and one at the back of Kessingland church where there is a clear East to South right round to the West Horizon, it came out of the West and was going just underneath the Orion Nebula before being lost to the shadow of the Earth-it would have made and incredible CCD picture seeing the STS one side and ISS the other side of Orion-especially when it was close to the Nebula-fantastic.
 
There was an earlier pass on this date that I observed but this one was the 20.27 U.T and 20.28 U.T pass on the 27/3/2009...
 
The STS should land tomorrow afternoon at 17.42 U.T at KSC...
 
Also look out for the Soyuz space craft which docks with the ISS tomorrow-have not seen this yet and probably won't as it will be attached to the ISS from now on-docks tomorrow afternoon with the ISS-good viewing.
