DazC Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 I just managed to get the binos out and race outside to see the ISS pass a few minutes ago.All I saw through my binos was a bright white blurred blob! I remember a couple of years ago, I managed to track it with my 130mm scope and saw some detail (the H shape).It's due to pass here again at 22:37. This time, I'll be ready and waiting for it......With a 10" dob!!Fingers crossed.D.C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
happy-kat Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Good luck it was very clear tonight and moved dead W to E for us so appeared to pass overhead more slowly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gbarnett Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 I was putting some rubbish out on Saturday and looked up and thought ...oh that moving thing is quite bright. No blinking lights.... AHA the ISS! Looked on Stellariun and found I could track it on there. Found the next time it was due over. Couldn't see anything. Checked why on Stellaruim ... this satellite is eclipsed! doh! Checked the times for Sunday. Too cloudy at 9pm and missed it when it came over again about 10.40pm. Graham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddoss Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 We are getting a 4 min pass (almost over head) at 9.50 pm tonight in Cardiff. I will be out with the binos. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DazC Posted April 14, 2014 Author Share Posted April 14, 2014 The sky had clouded over last night just in time for the second pass. Hopefully tonight it will be clear enough. Dob at the ready........D.C Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
