First HST flyover.

Getting ready for bed, my phone alerted me that the Hubble Space Telescope was about to make a pass almost directly over my location.

Heavens above showed the pass to be mag 0.8 and very near Venus, so I hurried outside.

I had no time for my eyes to adjust so from Venus down to the horizon all I could see was the light glow from town.

Finally I caught it moving just a bit past Venus. It was very faint, I question the mag 0.8 claim. I was able to watch it till about 30° above the Eastern horizon.

It wasn't close to being as spectacular as the ISS, but it is now another I've done it on my list.

Congratulations! - I don't think it is visible from GB/UK 🇬🇧 latitudes.

I have seen a few ISS and supplies satellite; (combined, not docked); sightings.

That is correct as it's orbit has an inclination of 28.5 degrees, it would be on the horizon along the south coast.

We can see ISS as it's orbit is inclined by 51.6 degrees.
