Still much further away than last night though. Likewise I didn't pick up the ATV until after I'd watched the ISS fade from view.

Seemed like the ATV faded out a little earlier, which made me think maybe it's in the lower orbit, but Heavens Above says the opposite. Perhaps it's simply the ISS's greater brightness making it visible for longer into the night side of the Earth.

I even managed to get Mrs PorkyB to come out and have a look.  We waved and shouted hello, seems rude not to really. Of course, if you take a 200P and 3 barlow out with you, you can do this... Intern

Thanks for this Nick. I saw it sail past last night even though the sky was covered in light cloud - made a pair of passing dog-walkers stop and point upwards. Chris
