[AZ-Observing] Definitely a beautiful sight

The Shuttle/ ISS pass sure was worth waking up for!
Like Thad, I also missed a good part of it due to clouds, but you know, the
thin clumpy ones they passed behind kinda added to the whole experience as
they winked in and out of visivility behind them before they went behind the
thicker ones.
According to Heavens Above, the ISS was the dimmer leading object and the
shuttle was the brighter trailing one. I thought the ISS would have been
brighter, being a larger object overall, but perhaps the geometry of how
each vessel is oriented towards us matters. Or maybe the shuttle's doors
are still open? Dunno.
