AS of right now, 11:09 EDT I show about 3 minutes and 20 seconds
difference.

1060 Stat. miles apart with a closing speed of 110 MPH.

As of 4:45EDT shows as 478 miles apart with a closing speed of 17.38 MPH

STS less than 2 minutes behind ISS.

with clear skies should be visible with a clear horizon.

Just ran a plot, and Unless I am mistaken, they should be visable
at 21:34 UTC over Denmark or just 20 minutes from now..

See www.heavens-above.com, currently giving 22:34 for ISS and 22:37 for
Endeavour from near London. I know Danish clocks are an hour ahead of
ours; but 24 minutes from here to there seems rather long.

I guess STS predictions should be checked shortly beforehand; NASA
predict a docking soon, but H-A has STS about 10 minutes ahead on the
12th. STS probably extends current/recent orbital elements for longer
than NASA want them to be valid.

One sees from H-A that STS was lower tonight, as it entered darkness
higher above my horizon than ISS does during that pass.

Both were bright, ISS more so, when high; but the low sky was not clear
here.

Thx a lot, but due to danish weathertradition :-( it clouded up just half an
hour befor visibility.
It would have been a sight, but no. Rain showers in the horizon.

This is how it looked from the UK as they went overhead
