    Twilight "Heads up!" for some of us.  Using the latest 
elements that Ted posted, our STS-113 followed by ISS 
pass for central Texas this evening (in less than three 
hours) is for twilight, so make sure you don't miss 
them due to having too restrictive a twilight setting 
in your prediction program.  Our pass time for here is 
right about 6:00 p.m. local time (00:00 Dec. 3 UTC), 
low in the NW->NNW->N, and the nominal separation is 
four seconds.  This may be a very nice sight from 
Dallas-Fort Worth and Oklahoma, etc.  I haven't checked 
Heavens-Above.com and am uncertain of its treatment of 
this type of thing.  The big problem for us here is, no 
surprise, the weather.
