Watch out for the ISS and the space shuttle!

Alright, this is for sharing of your observation experience. Or, if you are arranging gatherings, star-gazing expeditions or just want some company to go observing together, you can shout it out here.

Looks like a really great pass.

These come by only every once in a while, so do catch it if you can. It will pass right through sagittarius.

Do hope the weather is clear.

Cheers,
Chris
