A quick reminder of the very bright ISS pass tomorrow evening (Friday) for those interested.
The pass on Saturday (Sep 23rd) will be about twice as bright but occurs in twilight, so the sky will still be bright but the ISS should still be easily visible. The ISS rises in the SSW at around 18:34, is at its highest point a few seconds before 18:37 (elevation of 52 degrees in the SE) and disappears around 18:40 in the NE.
