Stellarium - ISS

[mcro89]

I have had Stellarium for a month or so now and wanted to know how accurate is it to predict the timing of the ISS flying over my skies?

Is it easy enough to skip forwards in time (on stellarium) to when ISS is shown to be flying over, write down the time and constellation and then go out at that time and see it? or is this being optimistic?

Hi mcro89,

I find it quite accurate but use it together with a free download called "ISS Tracker". Try it, it will show you where the ISS is in real time with a "visibility circle" that shows from where on earth it can be seen. I found it useful.
