Hi all

Just had a nice view of ISS from my back garden here in Worcestershire in the UK. This was a very high altitude pass and very bright. "Heavens Above (http://www.heavens-above.com)" predicted magnitude -0.7 and a 50 degree altitude. I can't ague with that. Saw it last night too but a lower pass and fainter.

Welcome to the forum, Mike.

Moved from Space Exploration to Observing.

The Heavens Above magnitude estimates for bright ISS passes almost always seem to be too low in my experience and that of other observers I know.
