Hey Stew, Have a look at these. Taken with my little Canon A75 @ max 3X zoom, full Auto., hand held & pointed in the general direction. Watched it from about 6.19 till it disappeared into the morning sky-glow in the N/E. Great sight. Was about -6 / -8 mag. against the dark blue sky. Came out better than I expected. Mags well...

Thanks for the heads-up.

Boy, do I need some more ZOOOOOM, & probably better imagination... or is that 'imaging ability'.

Tuesday morning as well I think it should have the shuttle as well if all goes well with the launch.
