Yep. The links above seem to depend on me being logged in to give the correct information. It's worth specifying your own location on the site to get exact times, and as Michael suggests registering with the site to get tailored email alerts is also worthwhile.

Aubrey.
Odd, Calsky is still showing the transit for tomorrow. The transit seems to be a bit shorter than it was a few days ago.

Still there for me. Though the ISS does change altitude which can affect predictions so you do need to check back occasionally to check the time and location.
