Spot the Shuttle and Hubble!
Folks on the East side of Aus, from Sydney northwards should be able to see the shuttle chasing Hubble tonight. Binoculars will likely be required. The pass coming up in 20 mins will include the start of the manouvering burn at 10:17pm.
Get on Heavens-above.com now and check out where to look, and watch NASA TV live.

Cheers,
Jason.

Burn done. Now I'll go and get 2 hours sleep and come back for the capture!
