ISS & the Shuttle

Just flew overhead.
Was checking Stellarium and spotted it was coming across from WNW to ESE, sliding past Rigel Kent. max elevation 63 Degrees, perfect !!

So were the clouds .... and one in particular at about the same speed. Thought I might get lucky with the gaps but obviously not this time ...
