Pretty old news mate, but awesome nonethe less. We were doing this last summer (just after I went to Canaveral and saw it close up)

You dont get to see close up, just fuzzy outline and what looks like a very bright star!!

what did you actually see?
because when i watch my monthly sky at night program, they were interviewing some ameteur astronomers who had been following the space station, and the clearest picture they could get was a slightly blurry one the size of a hand. but you could see the shuttle and the solar panels etc
