Re: Seeing the International Space Station
The table for my area is very similar .... tomorrow night, the early one, seems a good time as it has pretty high elevation.It must be me not been patient enough to take the time to find it. I'm guessing it's pretty small but a moving light?

Re: Seeing the International Space Station
No buildings .... just a big open field sat squat on the horizon, at least in the direction of W to S.Yeh, I know. A right dunce aren't I.
There are some big trees but I wouldn't have thought they'd be in the way.
I shall be extra vigilant tomorrow night.

Re: Seeing the International Space Station
Morti, when I see it, it is quite big and very bright.It is silent too.
When an aeroplane goes over, you usually see the flashing light underneath it and can hear the engines, but the space station looks bigger, brighter, no flashing lights, and is silent.
Sometimes my kitchen light shines into the garden, so I turn that off, and turn my outside light off too. If it is nice and dark, I'm sure you will see it - unless it too cloudy of course.
