Atlantis will be docking to the Harmony PMA 2 port for the first time this evening and could make for some interesting obs. The extra module means the shuttle is pushed a little further away from the clutter of the main truss so will it appear brighter I wonder ? In addition , ISS will have moved into "reverse" flight mode which usually produces a huge flare http://mysite.wanadoo-members.co.uk/satcom_transits/flareanim.gif from the docked Progress.
