You're welcome. But even better than that, I just saw the real thing! Clear sky tonight here in Kendal, and the two appeared at 9.11 as predicted, Jules Verne in the lead, around magnitude 2 (and quite red, I thought...) followed a few seconds behind by a blazing bright ISS, almost mag -2 I made it, and phosphorous blue-white in binocs. Very, very strange but oddly moving to see those two spacecraft sailing across the sky mere hours after watching them on my screen...
