Yes, it was a good show. We saw pretty much the entire pass. It began with
the ISS around magnitude -1 (similar to Mars) and the Shuttle at magnitude 1.
The two brightened for the first minute, but faded pretty quickly as they
approached the high point. I think they became fainter due to a phase effect,
as the they waned from gibbous to crescent satellites.
