There was also an excellent shot of SW Nova, including Digby Neck and =
the Islands, posted on Facebook. It showed the Bay of Fundy coastline =
from the Minas Basin all the way around to the south shore as far as the =
eastern shore. I'd like to download a higher resolution version if this =
photo to study it...anyone know where I would find it on the space =
website?

Subject: Re: [NatureNS] Space Station Pass Sunday evening
Yes, it was a beautiful evening to take in the pass. Clear sky, =
gibbous Moon, the brighter stars of the winter sky getting low in the =
west, and the evening air filled with the chorus of Spring Peepers. The =
station brightness probably reached a magnitude close to negative 4 =
(about the brightness of Venus). It was neat to see the ISS fade into =
the edge of Earth's shadow low in the ESE. =20
And as expressed in an earlier message, Chris Hadfield had the Halifax =
area in his camera view. It was probably in a pass prior to this one. =
I understand that tomorrow he will be answering questions with a group =
of students at the Discovery Centre.
He will be back in our sky about 10:52 out of the WSW but he will only =
reach about 15 degrees before the ISS goes into Earth shadow (just =
before the Little Dog Star, Procyon). Roughly a 30 sec window of =
visibility.

My thanks for the alert, Sherman. Quite a sight. And much faster =
