Bright ISS passes over Australia the next few days

For those that monitor these things, post the days/times for your city here..

For sydney/newcastle:
- 25th morning: 04:58am AEDST - mag -2.3 pass (NW -> SE) 79deg max alt
- 27th morning: 04:17am AEDST - mag -2.2 pass (WNW -> SE) 65deg max alt
- 29th morning: 03:37am AEDST - mag -1.2 pass (S -> SE) a very short one, max 43deg alt

There are some fainter ones on days in-between but these are the main ones for the next 2 weeks.

Hope the mornings are clear!

Hmm... ISS plus Space Shuttle. It's completely overcast right now with morning shower forecast. I don't like my chances tonight.

Hopefully tomorrow morning will be clear but the forecast is not good

I haven't seen or imaged the ISS with the shuttle attached before, and it looks like my only chances this time around are going to be clouded out!
