Heads up ISS on 12th Feb

[Astro Imp]

Great pass of ISS starting 18.18 just south of Venus finishing just short of Jupiter.

Thanks for the heads up

Just going to visit my Cloud Gods altar & try little prostration or two...maybe throw in a bit of skin and wine. They like that...

[RT65CB-SWL]

Just checked the 'Clear Outside' app and I get is 100% cloud...

Hopefully the BBC will say it's going to be cloudy and then we can set up ready in the unlikely event that they are wrong.

[Vega]

Oh that'll be an interesting visual magnitude comparison. Thanks for the heads up

Cheers for heads up. Unfortunately cloudy but one can hope

Sent from my iPhone so excuse the typos!

Clear here early evening , and looked brighter than I expected, nice pass,  thanks

[JamesF]

Total cloud cover here.  I consider that a blessing however, as at that time I was just getting changed to spend an hour and a half ploughing up and down the swimming pool whilst the children did their training with the swimming club.

My sacrifices didn't work, here at least (wrong sort of chicken I reckon)...cloudy nothingness. Pity, haven't seen the ISS for awhile.

So much for that one! However I have something that may make up for it - PreviSat. This is a very accurate satellite tracking program that can be set to your location and time, as well as any time in the future. This info will let you create the data needed to know when other good events will take place. As well as when you can expect the clouds to come along and ruin them!

Here is the link. It's coming from SourceForge.net - which is usually quite trustworthy. It's freeware. SouceForge has many other great freeware astro-programs, too:

Enjoy,
