Less that half hour until it passes over. And it is a clear(ish) night as well.

ISS passover as it was nearly overhead. It went directly over Hull before passing off towards the north sea.

But here is my pic taken outside my abode.

Its ok, I searched and found what I needed. It seems from what I read that it is getting lower now, so may be not as bright close at it eas last night. Shame it was cloudy here.. I'll be watching the shies over the next couple of days though.

Thanks Stu, I was typing at the same time you were so didn't catch your post. I'll bookmark that link too.

Highly recommend Sputnik! app (I've got in iOS, but it may be available on other platforms).

Give you your location, next sats viewable in the next 24hrs and 7 days, also when the sat rises, peaks and sets along with "where to look" and magnitude.

I have been using the Sputnik app on my iPad ever since I saw the space station on Saturday! I have got my

alarm set to remind me to have another look tonight. It's amazing when you think about what we are actually witnessing every time we look up at the night sky whether it's stars, planets or something manmade. There

can't be many hobbies that give you so many 'wow' moments.

I saw it for the first time on the 11th too, it had me scratching my head for a few seconds then I thought it must be the ISS, I checked up online later that night & sure enough it was.

Nice one thank you!

It looks like I have an old version, updating right now...

Was this going in the opposite direction to the flight of the ISS? I think I may have witnessed exactly the same moment!

Yes indeed it was. A fabulous sight.
