Almost forgot about the Jules Verne. Shining like a 1st magnitude star, the European Space Agency's Jules Verne cargo carrier is flying 2000 km or 4 minutes ahead of the ISS. A little harder to see then the ISS but give it a shot around 20:16. Start looking in the SW direction, and reaching 52 degree elevation in the NW and setting at NNE.

The flight path for the shuttle is now to cross central Florida just north of the Tampa Bay area, Orlando and then the Cape. With sunset at 19:46 EDT that means if you step out around 20:20 and look south west you'll get to see the ISS go by on a 52 degree elevation pass, followed shortly by the sonic booms of the shuttle.
Happy viewing... Keith N4ZQ
