You can use www.calsky.com/ and set your home or any location for checking ISS and satellites for free.
Cheers John,
I know of heavens-above.com (you forgot the "-" Jouke!), but its not always dead on. Chris Peat does a great job, only that the data can be days old, and therefore a miss when you want something exact.

I decided to stay in work (Ballsbridge) and view the event through my binoculars - I didn't want to fight traffic trying to get to a good spot on the northside.According to www.calsky.com/ it appears that there is another ISS transit of the moon from North Dublin on Thursday at 19:23. The centre line appears to cross the Airport, and the path width is about 17km, which means that the whole northside, and some of the southside, should see the event.
Anyway, at 19:23:50, the ISS sailed right past the moon! I was just outside the track of the transit! :oops:
I promise I won't make the same mistake in March next year in the Lybian desert! :shock:

Missed it by a good distance from Dalkey. But I expected that so I'm not upset
