Thanks for the heads up, Acetone.

The Heavens Above

site is also useful for info on the ISS, other satellites and other astronomical events.

You can register for free and if you input your latitude and longitude the data it gives is tailored to your location.

Thanks for that. I use Stellarium, free planetarium software download, to show where & when the ISS will be.

Thanks for the heads-up guys, there's some useful information on those web sites.

I've seen an ISS pass just once before and now hoping for another opportunity - if the sky clears!

The Heavens Above website has more pass details than Meteorwatch. E.g. for the first day mentioned on Meteorwatch there are actually 3 visible passes detailed in Heavens Above.
