["Steve Coe" <stevecoe@xxxxxxxxx>]

Howdy all;

I had a nice view of the Shuttle and the Space Station tonight at 9:25 MST.  
The Shuttle led the ISS by about one minute.  I would estimate the Shuttle at 
about mag 1 and the ISS at mag -1.  Because the Shuttle has undocked from ISS 
early yesterday morning it was not far away and it was lots of fun to see these 
two objects in orbit near each other.  I would estimate that they were 45 
degrees apart.  They were both low in the WSW, just like the heavens-above site 
predicted.

Clear Skies to us all;
Steve Coe
