International Space Station

[chrisduffy]

Has anybody been looking out for the ISS as it passes over the UK for the last few days?
On a clear night it can be seen with the naked eye as a bright light moving from west to east,
It will pass over tonight at 21.03
here is a pic I took last night here in Yorkshire , the brightest 'star' in the left corner is Mars and the streak is the ISS on a 15 sec exposure



Here's hoping for a clear sky around 9 pm,

Excellent shot, Chris. I'll keep an eye out for that tonight. Thanks for the heads up

Thanks for that Bitter End, it makes it all the more fascinating that you can see it passing over.
It was pretty cloudy here last night so only saw it for a couple of seconds as it passed a break in the clouds It passes again at 21.43 tonight
