I just had my first shuttle obs from my new location, with this elset:

STS-105
1 26888U 01035A   01223.04043962  .00014431  11625-4  11012-4 0    23
2 26888  51.6373 172.6440 0059464 273.8731 310.8057 16.13144018    27

Discovery arrived as predicted at 04:53 11 Aug UTC. No accurate timing as i
just wanted to see it but it was bright approx mag -2 and moving fast.

Then at 05:00:08 at Az 300 (approx) El 30 deg i spotted a mag 0 flare
heading South to North. Must step out as ISS will be arriving soon.
