I just went outside about 5 minutes before the schedule time, looked in the right direction and there they were. The space shuttle was traveling just behind the space station. Both were perfectly reflecting the sun's rays and were easily noticeable. I tried to capture some time lapse with the still camera but missed horribly. I have a little bit of video but it's 2 dots barley visible! :D
