ISS passing over from 7th to the 16th August over Ireland.

Lucky happenings are certainly welcome!
Frank, you should give the tourism board a call, that's a nice scenic shot.
With more passes on the way, what's the weather like for the rest of the week ?

You think?
I reckon they'd be like;
''hmmm, nice shot, apart from that ugly white line on it''

Just spotted the ISS this evening. When it was at it highest, I saw a bright point of light appear for a split second directly behid the ISS - about 1 degree behid it. Certainly was no star - no stars in the area were visible and was brighter than any of the others stars in the sky.
Anyone else see it :

I was also looking Mike but spotted nothing unusual.

Possibly a un docking Russian cargo delivery craft reached that space station on sunday, successfully docking to the Pirs module?

There is a good article in the August edition of Practical Astronomy on imaging the ISS, setting up mounts and cameras for the ISS passes etc..
