Shuttle lands Friday night around 1am AUS EST, de-orbit burn is usually about an hour before. But because they are at 28 degrees, I don't know on the delay.
They will probably pass right over Brisbane again, whilst doing the descent.
I have figured now, the only way to capture a re-entry, a few hours after sunlight, is with a thermal camera.
Shuttle goes into shadows of the Earth.
Eric, do you know what the time limit is to see a satellite or ISS/Shuttle before it goes into shadows of the Earth?
Depending on height and all ETC ETC..
But I'm gauging on about approx 2 hours after sunset?
