Discovery and ET seen from High Wycombe, England.  First spotted about 10°
above the horizon due west ascending to perhaps 25° when what I assume was
the ET entered eclipse.  A few seconds later the orbiter also entered 
eclipse at 21:30:26 UTC.

ISS seen about five minutes later.  When it passed roughly the same point
as the orbiter entered eclipse time was 21:35:05 UTC.

ISS was much brighter and did not enter eclipse before I lost sight of it
under the eaves of the house (maybe 80° elevation).

Ed.
