2. Yep- when they are flying "united" its very easy to see them |

By the way this is in response to your "two moon" thread...at least people can have something to look up at the sky for!

3. I hosed up the two moon thing |
|
but nobody's at fault but me, and one can only benefit from some forms of humility.
I recall Mars being quite bright back in April.

4. The Station alone is very bright. |
|
The best time to see them is just before or after the Shuttle docks. You can see the Shuttle chasing the Station across the sky. I have seen it twice now and it's an amazing sight.

6. I saw the chase last week at the lake. Was fantastic! |
|
First came the ISS, then the shuttle, about 2 minutes behind, in hot pursuit.

They were about that far apart the first time I seen them. The second time they were just about to dock and were about 2 finger widths apart.
