Clear skies hear in central Switzerland and got a nice view as it passed overhead, only could see one object however.

Cheers for the heads up but I think I missed it

I guess it would have taken the same track as the ISS?

That shuttle was seriously fast !

Clouded over here in slane so i missed the dragon. Still though, i'm happy i saw the ISS through my telescope again! Got brave and went up an eyepiece so i could make out more detail. Getting good at panning...!!

That was a really nice pass, very bright.
I tried grabbing a few photos, but came out a little blurry as I wasn't really prepared



The clothes line is for reference :P

The dragon was slightly further south, but high enough to see easily. but literally 10/15 seconds and he was gone!

Encrypted Pigeon

Saw two objects fly over on the same path as iss did earlier, first was ~21.30 and the second at 21:33, which one was it?

gerrybbadd

Clear skies in Tubbercurry, Co. Sligo - seen both.

The ISS was really very bright, no missing it streak across the sky. Dragon was not as bright, but seemed to be moving faster

Rock Lesnar

Seen the dragon in between brakes in the cloud, fairly bright to and was belting along

Sorry new to this and thanks for the updates have seen the iss a good few times thanks to this thread, but what is the dragon?

Rock Lesnar

Station just passed over now, seems to be something following about 5 secs behind, what could that be?

I'm wondering that myself. Missed last night's passes so glad to have caught those two. Dying to know what the follower is.

dball

saw it here in the west, cloudy but caught a few glimpses of it, couldnt see anything behind her though
