Ender Of Days Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Just saw a single very bright "star" pass over,I couldn't separate the 2 vehicles with the naked eye,I managed to get a single photo,but I was hand holding it against the loft window frame .. ,Id only just read the above post and was 2 Min's after the time mentioned,up I ran with the camera just to see the "star" disappearing over the roof top !JJ..

Starjust Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Didn't think it was going to be docked when it came over, exciting none the less and deffintely looked non-starry through the binoculars Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbird Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Cleared up nice to see ISS go over, getting the 'scope out now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Starjust Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Hmm, docks at 7:16pm apparently, must have just missed it or was it so close we couldn't distinguish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hypernova Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 I saw it pass over earlier, very low wasn't it.I managed to photograph it through the dob and got two (out of focus) points of light with some discernible structure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neilius Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 Saw it about 30 mins ago as I was setting up. Darn, if ionly i'd been earlier I might have had in in the scope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronseal Posted February 26, 2011 Share Posted February 26, 2011 You can try at the next pass at 8:11pm tonight with peak altitude at 8:13 above Orion this time so higher in the sky before disapearing at 8:16 - I think this pass is even faster than the earlier one, we may only see it for a couple of minutes.
