Yes
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 :help: hers a link again anyhow http://www.meteorwatch.org/iss-uk-passes-april-2013/
 
Cheers for the heads up (literally) Rich.....will be having a look out :thumbs:
 
ta. reasonably clear here... but starts 10 deg and highest is 22 deg above horizon so nothing to see from here...

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!
