STS 127 SHUTTLE VISIBLE OVER IRELAND 19 MINUTES AFTER LIFTOF

goog question! I assume West to East following the iss.

Last time it came from the south and took a sharp turn east

really?!?, I would have thought it would have come form the SSW direction, can you remember how high did it get last time ??

This is a really important question!?
We need to kinda know where to look!
:laugh:

I Just saw the ISS pass over there a few min ago..
It was hard to spot in the twilight but as it went overhead
and into the East it was easier to hold on to.

It still appeared to be climbing when it left our fov. It started at what I'll call horizon level (there's fields behind us so it appeared to rise over the tree line). As regards height I'm not sure exactly but dads x600 binos did a good job at you being able to define the orange colour of the tank and sometimes the flames from the engines if that's any help.

Just saw the ISS passover through a birdwatching scope and it was spectacular! I could see the shape quite clearly. Hope the shuttle looks as impressive but would also love to be certain where to look for it as there is some cloud about here in North Dublin.
