There's a chance of seeing three spacecraft at once this evening (2120 EDT TUE 28 JUL 2009).
They just said on NASA Television that tonight anywhere in North America one should be able to see the station and shuttle separated as well as the Progress freighter behind them tonight around 9:20 PM. That's a bizarre statement. But I went and looked at other locations on the ISS sighting bulletin board. None for Williamsport, as I said before, but a brief one for Pittsburgh low on the horizon. See: NASA Link. Chances are we don't get a break, but in case you want to try. Three vehicles would be neat to see!
