I saw them this morning as well. Very nice pairing with the trailing craft 
looking less bright and a little more yellow in color. At first I thought is 
was an airplane because of the close proximity between the two. From my 
location in Tucson I saw the pair pass to the west (or slightly above) the 
Moon and Venus. I tried to get a shot of this but human error prevailed as I 
had the mirror lockup function engaged on my camera but neglected to press 
the shutter a second time.
