    Video tape clearly shows ET in a few frames...very unsteady as telescope was
    guided by hand !
    
    The tank did not appear to be tumbling and although naked eye was close to
    shuttle , the latter did not appear in any frames at the same time.I had
    quite a tight field of view.
    
    Initial processing shows brown elongated shape with slight disturbance
    either side.
    
    I also caught the later pass of ISS , and again a few frames show the basic
    shape of the station , with what seems to be reflection off the arm.
    
    Anyone else get ET in camera ? I imagine a timed exposure off the two tracks
    would be brilliant.
    
    Regards,
