ISS Prediction

[MarkS]

Rats!  The sky was so bright I didn't see it until it was almost at highest elevation.  I managed to catch this as it receded but it's nowhere near as good as my best ones.

Gosh, that isn't bad, Mark!!!!!!
I took the grandchildren outside to see it &  it had passed overhead before I saw it. I thought it was coming from SSW, but seemed more W. So missed it coming.

At least we saw it. I did think of you.

Mike,

ISS transit of the moon - a great idea!  I've also seen a good ISS transit of the sun.

It being so bright these days, there might be half a chance it could be spotted in daylight. Anyone tried yet?
