Found out about the pass on http://heavens-above.com/. Was at 3:32AM, went to sleep and was so tired I didn't set an alarm or anything. Woke out of a dead sleep at 3:30, nice! ISS was a bright star with dragon a much fainter one in trail, since was so early they were pretty far to the NNE when they popped into the sunlight. Anyway, I thought it was neat to see them both flying together. Even better I was able to go back to sleep.

Nice. I've seen the ISS a couple of times too. Once at night at work flew by pretty fast like a bright star. Another time by accident while bird watching caught this bright fast moving object. Could not see it with the naked eye but when I put my binocs back on it it was bright as a star and moving fast. This was day time. Either that or it was something else......
