Well this is wild, I have yet to get Sam's email with a link to his very
nice image of the pair over a the Catalina's but did get Wayne's response.
(Great Shot Sam)
Thank you,

I'm surprised you got such a stable shot, Sam. It's still blowing like the
dickens 30 miles to your east. I missed seeing the display by _that_ much! I
saw Jimmy's notice about 15 minutes too late. I had been out earlier looking
at the boiling surface (caused by our turbulent seeing) of Jupiter and then
had a surprisingly nice view of the crescent moon just about 10 degrees
higher up in the sky from Jupiter.
Actually it won't be too long until you see another shuttle. I think there
is another launch scheduled for April 19th. I thought this was the last
shuttle launch, too, but this was the last _Discovery_ flight. There are two
more shuttles left to be launched.
Clear skies,
Wayne (aka Mr. Galaxy)

Here's a shot I got of the pair over Tucson. I'll take your word, Jimmy,
that Discovery was trailing the Space Station. I thought the trailing object
appeared slightly brighter. We have a couple more chances tomorrow night and
then we won't see another shuttle craft for a long time to come.

Wow, 50 min turnaround on emails. This thing has gotten slow! The pass was
nice. Came from the northwest, appeared to be the ISS leading the shuttle.
Both eclipsed just about due North at about 45 degrees elevation.
Thank you,
Jimmy Ray

Very short notice but I understand that the ISS / Discovery Shuttle will be
making a double pass over Phoenix at 20:00 (*PM) tonight. It will be coming
from the North West
Thank you,
