Heads up all you night time Togs

Just a reminder that the ISS will be passing at 10.16 and the sky looks good at the moment. I was trying to locate the thread which somebody mentioned it all the other day, but too much Brandy has prevented that happening hers a link again anyhow http://www.meteorwatch.org/iss-uk-passes-april-2013/

ta. reasonably clear here... but starts 10 deg and highest is 22 deg above horizon so nothing to see from here...

The earlier pass was better, but too light to catch. Here's one from last night -

Just this minute spotted it when viewed from my west-facing hobby room window, it was more or less to my south west heading in a ESE direction (there was a partial cloud cover, though).

Just been out in the field behind us and sure enough, on time it appeared and very easily visible travelling west to south west.

I raised my glass an stopped for one brief moment. What I would give to be looking down on Earth right now. We can all dream I suppose

We were sat in the conservatory last evening at about 20:30 when my wife asked if the bright light going over was the ISS or a plane. Watched if for a short while (1 or 2 minutes) through binos and decided that since there was no flashing, it was probably the ISS, a quick look at a couple of the live tracking sites showed that it almost certainly was. The fact that it vanished above the horizon was a bit of a giveaway too!
