Last eve I caught the very nice pass! ....a real neck-breaker here in =
Avonport;  it's not very often that I've seen the ISS pass essentially =
through my  zenith, and in a sky so transparent!

Between 22:47 and 22:48, I also caught the Japanese supply vehicle =
(HTV-4) as it passed through the Big Dipper handle (reached close to mag =
2, coppery-red in colour). It rendezvous with ISS on Aug 9.




THIS EVENING looks like a clear one, so here is another interesting set =
of passes to see:

ISS between 9:18 and 9:21 p.m.  out of the SW and across the SE (more =
than half way above the horizon (56 deg in Avonport))=20

About 1 half minute later HTV-4 (the Japanese supply vessel passes too,  =
but not as bright) Same general  track but a bit lower altitude.=20

A second pass of same I(SS and HTV-4) about 1.5 hr later. This time =
through the Big Dipper part of the sky (northern)=20
  ISS goes through between 10:55 and 10:56
HTV-4 goes through between 10:53 and 10:54 . This time the supply vessel =
is a little ahead of the ISS.=20
They rendezvous early on Aug 9th
