    ISS passes from sw horizon to e horizon saturday;
    rises 18:33:10 max elevation 18:37:55 sets 18:40:40
    more interestingly
    sts133 is ~30s behind it. Also the sky should be clear.
    the shuttle docks at 19:16, before they both pass again rising at 20:08:44 and passing into shadow at 20:12:53

    see www.calsky.com for more details

    Saw it thanks to this thread- thanks a mill! Discovery was 30s behind it but flashed out of sight after a few seconds? Must have gone into shadow or something?

    I saw that flare as well, but I think that was more than 30s behind the track. Also I checked calsky after and it had the shuttle only 1 s behind, Which makes good sense for a docking at 19:16.

    Not looked into the flare yet (I may have it on image) but it was a very short and bright one.
