Hi All, Last night I had a good pass of Discovery & Mir at 20:44UT (8-May-98), only 4.5 hours after undock & 3h after the post seperation burn. The skies were pretty cloudy at sunset, but then 5 minutes before the predicted pass time a hole appeared in the cloud cover. I spotted STS-91 as it emerged from behind a cloud, followed by Mir perhaps a couple of degree's behind. The Shuttle was bright white, at least mag -2, Mir slightly fainter & distinctly yellowish. It was one of the nicest sights I've seen. Hopefully, I've got a permanent record on film too - I shot a 30" exposure on slide film just before the pair disappeared behind a cloud. This is almost certainly the last chance we will have to see a Shuttle & Mir operating together. Yes it's the end of an era, but also a new beginning as we prepare to build the ISS Best wishes & clear skies, Jason -- Jason P Hatton INSERM U311 ETS Strasbourg 67065 Strasbourg Cedex France 48.538N / 7.731E / 143m
