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.
Hoping for a future of NASA manned spaceflight

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.

Richard


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.
