If interested, A sighting of 5 mins of the Space Shuttle docked to the International Space station can be seen on this orbit http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/realdata/tracking/ at 8.42 pm Perth time looking at a orbit path from near India to just touch SW of WA, if you inside red circle,you will see it, very bright star traveling at 17000 KPH , suggest look couple mins early out to sea direction off shark bay and up 40 degress,,basically it will come straight towards you, despite being 2000 Klms out to sea, also at that time , 2 astronaughts will be nearly finished a 6 hour space walk outside as it passes over Perth....

Cool, last time I got to watch these things was 2005. I was in Eneabba about to jump in the PC to head out to the mine. It was when the space shuttle was chasing down the space station so it could dock. Pretty cool to see, pity it only lasted about 20 seconds. Good work for posting it up

EDIT: Actual speed is 27700km/h give or take
