Got some good info from someone at work yesterday, that tells you when and where you can see the ISS pass over

Last night, it was at dusk (18:02), passing pretty much East to West I saw it pass over

It needs to be a clear sky - its pretty much the brightest thing up there - looks like a very bright star, moves at about the same speed as a high flying aeroplane (The ISS has no flashing lights though) and from starting to see it, to it dissappearing, takes about 2-3 mins.

With an optical aid of 10X magnification, you should also be able to make out a bit more detail on it - ie the solar panels, and maybe even the shuttle which is docked at the moment

Link to times and place in the sky

ooh i'll be out tonight then !!

Good find stuy

woooosh... went rite over tmy head that did.... damn dumb chiccy

to the observetory!!!!!

Unfortunatly, at 10-11 degress its going to be very hard to see

25degress and higher makes it much easier to see...

I'll give it a go

i went out to see if i could see anything last night ,nothing but i dont think the light pollution helps

Also remeber the viewing times - these are critical.

It is litterally only visable for a few mins...

15 minutes to go

well, I didn't see shit all apart from a load of planes.

Think it was too low and too much light pollution

Oh well

oh doh 4 got

nothing here except planes as well

bugger, i forgot..... AGAIN !!!! aaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrgh !
