ISS “incredibly bright” tonight
Re: ISS “incredibly bright” tonight
Haven't had the forecast storm here but the clouds seem to have spread out. Will probably be able to get a glimpse if not as a view as last night. 9 mins to go.

Blanket cloud - can’t see a star so won’t see ISS...

Yep
Re: ISS “incredibly bright” tonight
Fook hall tonight for me - too cloudy. Bah.
Re: ISS “incredibly bright” tonight
I’ve been sitting out since 8pm, it wasn’t particularly bright, more like every other sighting of the ISS unless that was just yesterday.
Here’s my Beany attempt at taking a picture of it

How about not having a sig at all?
Re: ISS “incredibly bright” tonight
It came into and went out of view sooner than last night but otherwise was as clear and bright, and also what I presume was the following supply craft was just as bright and clear If it was the supply craft, I wonder if it was visible last night but far enough behind to miss when following the station. 22:05 and 23:42 tomorrow, fingers crossed for clear weather
Re: ISS “incredibly bright” tonight
If I hadn’t had a glass or two of wine, I’d try to work out the speed
Give me a head start... anyone know it’s orbital height???
Edit - easier than I thought... or I’ve maybe bought low alcohol wine...
I’ve got 16,488.4 mph???

I still saw it through the clouds last night. I'm finding with that James Darpinian app that they come along 3-4 mins after estimated ETA

Amen!!!!!!
Re: ISS “incredibly bright” tonight
Not as clear as the last two nights - and no second vehicle - but I didn't think I'd see it at all because it's not that dark and is rather cloudy.
It's been weird seeing more satellites than 'planes. I'd say more pleasant and preferable, but I've not had a flight cancelled.

Feck, completely forgot 23:42
Re: ISS “incredibly bright” tonight
Bah, slept through it all. If it was as cloudy as it now as I wouldn't have seen anything. 'll console myself with that.
