On Christmas day, I was able to get, for the first time, the International 
Space Station in my telescope!  Featureless, but awesome!  Have'll wait till 
it gets bigger....  Second time overall that I've seen it!

Only 70 minutes later, I saw the Shuttle for the first time ever through 
binoculars!  Magnitude 2.  The incredible thing is to consider that there are 
actually people on board!  Due to its high orbit and slower speeds, it moved 
so S  L   O    W     !  I never saw a satellite move so slow.  But then again 
it was a extremely low elevations.
