Just watched a 677 degree elevation pass of the ISS/Shuttle.  In the
NNW and north it was normally bright then it became reddish as it
entered Earth shadow.  Then it continued to be visible (white light)
in binoculars while I was facing more easterly.

I neglected to get a time but suspect that this was only due to reflected
or direct Shuttle light.  Time was approx 0200 UT on 15 Oct 02.

If this is correct, this was my first obs of the ISS/Shuttle in Earth shadow.
