After a day of miserably windy and rainy weather, the skies cleared just in time for us to see Atlantis and ISS make a lovely pass from about 40deg above the northern horizon towards the east. At culmination, the two were about 5-6 degs apart with the shuttle at approximately -2 mag and ISS perhaps -4 (although as they and the moon were the only objects we could see in a still-bright sky, the estimates are of necessity most crude). Later (at about 20:09 EDT = Oct 17/00:09 UTC), we hope to see them again, this time low (~ 24 deg) in the SW. A pretty sight! Clear and dark skies!
