    Saw STS-122 with ISS following by about a minute. Atlantis was brighter,
    about -2, while ISS was only -0 mag in a low SW pass. We could not see
    USA-193, which was a shame because it may have been the last chance. I had
    my crew pull over near Ponca City, OK to watch this, everyone was surprised
    at seeing them, and, although disappointed about USA-193, after a very long
    successful day (that ended up being 22 hours long), it was nice to share
    this with them. We will miss the eclipse tonight due to cloud. That morning
    I had started with a few objects, including NOSS 3-2, but the residuals were
    bad. PPAS:

    Notes:
    1) Still accelerating.
    2) Looks very different - slower and smooth maxima
