Yes, Tonight near Chicago, IL we had another beautiful pass of ISS-Alpha -- and trailing shortly behind it was the STS-117 Atlantis shuttle -- a bonus observation.

May get another good observation tomorrow night.

Hi, this evening over Europe I have seen a great pass. ISS and Shuttle during the 20:25 UTC transit over Italy were one close to the other...very close. I hope the weather will permit tomorrow to see again this beautiful pass before the Shuttle return back home.
