Hi Alan.... Yes I really dont know where I got the two seconds from....looking at the image I grabbed it was more like 56 escs ! With seconds to go before the pass I decided to have a go at imaging them both with a webcam through a window....just about the worst combination possible . STS was very faint compared with ISS , as the payload bays would have been closed (Thanks Markus) .....however I did manage a couple of frames which I have put up here http://www.satcom.freeserve.co.uk/both.htm (think that should work) Quality of images is very poor due to light pollution , but you can just make out the two craft.
