meteoriot Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 clear view but no seperation noticable between the 2 if they were that close together or i did not see one or the other. it was hugely bright thoughI could definitely see two separate points of light very close together through my 15x70s. Put that together with the fact they docked only half an hour later and they have to do this very slowly. It took the discovery shuttle 5 mins to close in the last 20 feet to the ISS so It must have been very close at the time of passing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MorningMajor Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Lovely and clear and very bright - could just about make out 2 objects, but only really because people said there should be 2 otherwise i would have mistaken them for 1 - still, great to see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MorningMajor Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 it orbits the earth every 1.5 hours so should be plenty of opportunity But remember - not every pass is visible, depends on it's position relative to the sun - Stellarium will show all passes regardless of visibility, Heavens above will list the ones you can see from your location Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
