Hubble Space Telescope tonight

I was just tinkering on Stellarium and saw an object moving across the screen , identified it as the Hubble Space Telescope , raced outside to the backyard and saw it flying across the north east sky at about 50 deg ( only caught a 30 second view of it and then it was gone )

Did anyone else see it ??

Didn't see HST but managed to follow the ISS(Zarya) on Sunday evening right across the sky in the binoscope. Beautifully bright pass with the not only the solar panels well visible but also the fuselage.

I was using the slew controls of the AZ-EQ6 to keep it in the view at 30X using a pair of APM30mm UFF..... lots of button pressing involved...

Sky Safari pipes up occasionally on my phone, and tonight over Townsville, I saw the best example of ISS to date. It was brighter than Venus, from about 20 Deg above SW, all the way to the NE horizon.

I gotta prepare better for this in future... would have been fun to chase it through an EP.
