So I got to see the ISS pass I wrote about earlier. I was beautiful, with the brightening ISS gliding above Venus and disappearing into Earth's shadow. The Cygnus cargo craft was supposed to be visible too, but neither I noire JupiterisBig managed to see it. Still, very nice show.

I watched the pass last night. The ISS, Venus, Saturn, Mercury and Spica all were clear in the west as the Space Station and its six occupants rushed overhead.
I couldn't see the Cygnus capsule. At one stage I did perceive some flashes in the track behind the ISS. I wonder if that was it.
