I had hoped to capture a picture of the IIS and Shuttle pass.
Unfortunately not this time. it was too low on the horizon (10
degrees) at my latitude (42 N), plus I just went to bed an hour before
after have only 5 hours of sleep in the last 48 hours thanks to 6
hours of telescopic observing and 3 hours of meteor observation in
that period.
Clear dark skies,
Al Degutis
