[robbieince]

Managed to catch it through broken cloud - naked eye. Nice and bright - two distinct points or my awful eyes?

[phw26]

Just caught a glimpse off the ISS through the clouds with the shuttle following behind

This is the site I use. straight from the horses mouth:- Human Space Flight (HSF) - Orbital Tracking

Edit: Sorry, just realised this is the same site already mentioned!!

Definitely two.

[Ronseal]

I could make out 2 distinct lines of light through 15x70's, no strcture though or shuttle

[jackruss]

nice clear skies watched from one side to the other well chuffed

[leenewtoastro]

clear view but no seperation noticable between the 2 if they were that close together or i did not see one or the other. it was hugely bright though

I could definitely see two separate points of light very close together through my 15x70s. Put that together with the fact they docked only half an hour later and they have to do this very slowly. It took the discovery shuttle 5 mins to close in the last 20 feet to the ISS so It must have been very close at the time of passing.

Skies clear but it's too low as I've got houses in m line f sight , the next few days I believe it's higher ?

based on viewing from Anglesey

[Gladders1980]

Managed to catch between clouds at 6:37, very bright and very quick, no wonder people mistake these things for UFO's

Too cloudy for the second pass.

[MorningMajor]

Lovely and clear and very bright - could just about make out 2 objects, but only really because people said there should be 2 otherwise i would have mistaken them for 1 - still, great to see

[RascalUK]

nice clear skies watched from one side to the other well chuffed

Same here in Manchester...that was my first sighting....awesome.

[kev i]

is the iss going over at about 7.57 pm tonight or iav i got it wroung last night was fantastic.... to night got the scope out it went over my house last night and on havens above its say 7.57 tonight 8.57 tomoz hope its right anyone no ?

[leenewtoastro]

No, more like 8:30

[jackruss]

and was 19.05 ish as well

[wozza]

When will this go over tomorrow ? am i looking for lights close together?

[leenewtoastro]

its all docked now woz so until it undocks

it orbits the earth every 1.5 hours so should be plenty of opportunity

[MorningMajor]

it orbits the earth every 1.5 hours so should be plenty of opportunity

But remember - not every pass is visible, depends on it's position relative to the sun - Stellarium will show all passes regardless of visibility, Heavens above will list the ones you can see from your location

[leenewtoastro]

^plenty of opportunity as i said then

for the uninitiated i always use HA for viewing times

[MorningMajor]

Sorry lee - thought you were saying it would be visible every 1.5 hours - my mistake

[leenewtoastro]

i guess it was a little open ended my bad

[wozza]

Thanks ,i will check HA and see what time its over ,am i likely to see it with just bino's?

[leenewtoastro]

Its unmissable with the naked eye
