Heads up, UK viewers, the complex will pass over London, England in 7 minutes, hope the skies are clear to see it, enjoy it if you can!

8 minutes to sunset.

Cloud cover at 600 ft. Will try to spot the station anyway since it seems rather thin. Lots of light pollution though.

Heads up for those viewing in the UK, the complex will pass over London, England on this pass in about 14 - 16 minutes. You may get a good sighting opportunity if the weather is good, I'll post a reminder when we get closer to the pass.

200 miles north, but cloud cover, again

Sorry to hear that Chris, this is the best pass of the day for you in the UK for viewing

Hope he takes a couple of photos of Discovery there (as much as I think he was just reconfiguring the camera).

The complex will soon pass SE over Iraq, we are moving out of comm coverage with TDRS-East as expected, as we approach the ZOE, 3 minutes to the ZOE, if you are viewing the map on NASA-TV, the ZOE zone is over the Indian Ocean between the yellow and green lines.
