Worth looking at-better with Binoculars-guess I'll get behind the Village Church again where there is an Excellent South West right round to the Eastern Horizon to see this-clear skies....
See the 2 ISS passes tonight from behind the Village Church where there is a good all round Horizon-the first pass was the ISS with the STS still attached but the 21.45 pass I could just vaguely pick out the separation of the craft-all good fun and I will be looking again tomorrow for the 20.35 pass as well as a possible vague 22.09 pass if clear....
