The ISS is back, many passes over the next week. was created by dave_lillis
While observing last night, we saw the ISS pass overhead, quite bright and nicely observed.

There are ALOT of high altitude passes over the next week or so.
Have a look at heavens-above.com for times, position in the sky and it's FREE, create an account there as the times are very geographically specific.

Hey Dave - myself and Fiona were out for a smoke a little while back and sure, there it was! She spotted it before me :blush:

I reckon it was about the same mag, if not a tad brighter than, Jupiter...

Of course, if it wasn't the ISS (in the South and moving West to East around 11 ish) then it must have been the wine... hic

Cool shots guys, especially with the diminishing twilight present. Catch it while you can folks, we have an unusually fine spell of weather. Is there a Shuttle launch coming up soon does anyone know?
