Something in the air earlier today

[Kerrp30]

Was going out on my bike this morning about 6:55 and I saw an item moving from west to east which pass by a star at about 30 degrees up, I am in bathgate west lothian. This was looking due south.

Moved too fast for a plane and no flashing lights were seen. Was it a satellite or the ISS?

Thanks

sounds like the ISS to me. see Heavens-Above Home Page and log in/register as user - add your site details and you'll see it is currently in that sort of area at that sort of elevation and time.

Yes, I believe it was the ISS as from my location it says it past at 6:51

Thanks Jack checked it out and it was the ISS. It actually passed roght over one of the stars, just a pity I had nothing but my eyes but kept me looking up for a while.

sounds like the iss its hard to track with a scope and i have tried

it's certainly trackable with my 26mm Nagler but it's not easy.
