Too cloudy at three last night though....

Re: Seeing the International Space Station
Some more times here, up to August 1st.It is worth noting that it's advisable to check times for your specific area as in the south you are sometimes able to see bonus sightings that aren't visible further north, as happened last night. I had a good sighting at 21.37, 6 mins at 60° yet Colin, who is in the North East, didn't even have it listed. Apparently it was too light up there still as the sun set 20 minutes later there than here. And sometimes although it's visible in the south it's too low for the north.
These times are for Birmingham...
Look here for accurate sightings....https://spotthestation.nasa.gov/
