    The ISS magnitudes listed on Heavens-Above are not adjusted for the docked
    Shuttle. Strictly they should be, of course, but it's one of those things we
    never got round to yet.

    A friend of mine asked this question. 
    
    "Is the ISS magnitude listed on Heavens-Above currently adjusted to reflect
    the shuttle's added brightness, or is it still just the brightness of the
    ISS?"
    
    Great question. Anyone have an answer for this?
    
    Thanks!
