Watch out for the ISS

Hey all, Just checked heavens above and the ISS will be visible at 22:20 tonight at a mag of .6! and again at about 23:55!

Thanks Matthew. Indeed, it will be seen every evening until May 18th. Most nights, it can be seen twice, and on certan nights even 3 times! The aforementioned website will give you the times to look.

Try getting it for your particular location, and then also look for Iridium Flares which may occur close to one of the ISS passes!!

Hello lads,
Do either of you know another website where I can find out the times of the ISS fly over. I tried one or two but when you click on 'Dublin' as location, they gave different times.

Cheers

www.heavens-above.com is the best one. Go into it, select your country, then it will ask for the name of your town, or type it into the box provided. Then, confirm which Dublin you want. You can set up a user account (free), and add into it your desired locations. But, the different times you are talking about are probably all the times the ISS can be seen. In the coming days, thats 2 or 3 times a night!

Is this of any help to you Sean?

How different?

The times should not be more than a minute or so out in any part of Dublin. If you want to get your exaxt lat/log to feed into heavens above you can get them from www.maporama.com/share/
