Wait until the second truss and set of solar arrays is installed on next 
shuttle flight (Atlantis, STS-115) next week !!

That should improve the magnitude a bit more :-)

The thing that surprised me the most was how BIG it appears to be in the
sky. What I could see with the naked eye looked like 2 large squares, 
connected at the points. VERY inspiring!!
I wish I had taken my binoculars out with me.  I will be watching for other 
passes.
Strange thing is, I didn't hear any activity on 145.800.
I figured I would hear some kind of activity.
