Nice wx for International Space Station spotting

Gump introduced me to this the other night...

Look up your state and your city to find approximate sighting times and location in the sky of the "overflight" path of the ISS. I went out last night and it appeared right where they said it would, big, bright, and fast... super cool!

That thing was truckin'..or rather the Earth is.

Nice, it showed up exactly on cue.. that thing is the size of a football field and it is screaming along at 17,500 mph.

Re: Nice wx for International Space Station spotting

I like watching the ISS fly over...the shuttles too when they were on a mission. Here's a picture of one from a couple of years ago...sorry, it's tough judging exposure settings when using bulb. The ISS is the thin line starting about a third of the way from the top on the left side:
