Well she is back home.. but not before I watched her final pass over the South Island about 5-7 minutes before re-entry interface.. crystal clear as day, brightest object in the sky at 1756 local travelling East about 45º to the horizon, looking South. Within a minute or 2 of it going out of sight it was viewed from Christchurch by a member.. or, former member of this forum. Both of us have video, havent seen his yet but mine is up, albeit not really worth much as youtube compressed it to hell.

Fantastic to witness that piece of history.. and good timing too considering its a london pea souper out there right now lol.
