Face South, and it will pass across the sky from West to East, a steady white light, as for the angle it will be high in the South, the sighting coming up is at an angle of 80 degrees in the South, that is were 0 degs is the horizon and 90 degrees is directly overhead, so it is going to be crossing almost overhead where you are.....

as for where I am ....cloudy
Thanks mate. Lets hope the weather doesn't spoil it.

Re: Seeing the International Space Station

I saw it!



Clear as anything. I was able to watch it for the full 6 minutes. It's possible I have seen it before but passed it off as an aeroplane.

Some times it appears to zig-zag slightly but I'm sure that's just an optical illusion.

Thanks everyone and thanks Dwebb for pointing it out.

I can go to bed happy.

It is and I had also opened Barry's link so I could see exactly where it was leading up to 11:35.
