The massage I posted to NatureNs this morning in response to Joyce  
Norris'  comment, has just come in and I notice that it has a  
discrepancy in the prediction I gave for ISS.  It should have read as  
follows (not that it will make much difference due to the cloudy sky  
this evening):

> My sources give the following  predicted visible passes for this  
> evening, March 26:

> ISS at the peak of its pass at  21:29:36,    26 degrees above the  
> SW  when it enters Earth shadow and disappears.
> ATV at the peak of its pass at  21:25:26   29 degrees above the SW   
> when it enters Earth shadow and disappears.

and not as stated below.
