Heads up: Tiangong-1, X-37B, and ISS tonight over SE QLD

Tonight 3 of the major orbiting spacecraft will be visible from Brisbane.

First will be the Tiangong-1 which flies through the Southern Cross in the south at 17:37 mag 0.9

Then the X-37B next to Saturn, overhead at 17:53 mag 2.1

Then the ISS next to Saturn, overhead, at 18:27 mag -3.4

I will endeavour to catch a transit of both the X-37B and the ISS of Saturn from the Mt Lindsay Hwy. Obeservers in Amberley will see the ISS go directly over Saturn.

Would love to see some images tonight!

Tom
