@appleipodtouch2g It's kinda sad really.

Thats awsome! I saw it for the first time a few weeks ago around 4:30am, and again tonight at 8:52pm over Philly..a 6 min fly by. Nothing like this, it appeared as a white dot, no lights moving across the sky. Times like these I wish I had a better, more advanced telescope.

Either it or something large passed over Ireland tonight. A very cool sight to witness it speeding across the sky.

i saw the ISS and the discovery tonight passing by. in germany they can be seen until 27 of march twice every night.

althought i only saw it for about an minute, it gave me goosebumps all over and i had an large amount of reverence.

it was just great. keep looking :)

I recently used a hand held scanner to tune into the ISS chatter as it passed over.

[Frekas9291]

nice catch, is it hard to see diffrence between a satelit and ISS when your looking up?

[Barberskum]

Not any more! The ISS is getting so big now that

you can when it is passing at a reasonably high altitude make out a roughly 'H' shape with good binoculars. Other than that the main difference is that it is really bright!

[maniakdemusique]

Do you remember which frequency you were tuned into?

[davemckiernan]

That's great. Hope you get some more from STS-126. Thanks.

[gearfinger]

what kit did you use to capture this mate, fantastic by the way!

[Barberskum]

Cheers, I used a Meade ETX 125 scope with a Philips webcam attached to the eyepiece.

Totally friggen rad!!! if you attached a high power rifle to your telescope Ill bet you could shoot that sumbitch outa the sky!

[DuMyth]
