I'm starting a new thread because the other thread title would be confusing.
December 8 and 9 are looking pretty good.

Here's the pass for tomorrow night. As seen from CS Wal Mart.
The Hubble Telescope is going to fly over at the same time, with a similar trajectory.

thanks, Tailgate!
I agree, but in fairness, I stole it from some other thread here a year ago or so. I wish I could give credit to whoever actually posted it first but I don't recall.theNetSmith said:wow.. that site is super cool! hadn't seen it before.Tailgate88 said:

This would be sweet. I think there's a string coming over in the next day or so, but I doubt it'll look anything close.
ISS tonight was very visible tonight & should be even better next two nights!
Thanks for the heads up.

I saw it too. Higher than I expected for 22 degrees over the horizon.NateDog said:

Friendly reminder to look up at 7:10pm to see ISS.
Check out See A Satellite Tonight to see where to look from your location.

Shel usually mentions it in his Instagram stories.
Pretty bright
Seems slow tonight
My 4 year old spotted it without help tonight!
Thanks for this thread! Took my kids out to see it fly over!
Thanks for sharing. The SpottheStation App stopped sending me text reminder recently even though I have renewed the subscription. I look forward to watching the ISS flyover again tomorrow when its brightness will double.
Tonight's ISS viewing is at 6:23 pm.
Very bright tonight. Thanks for the heads up.
Easily the brightest thing in the sky, plus Mars so visible, and Saturn/Jupiter getting closer together.curry97 said:

Fun skywatching; also thanks again for the heads up Bait & whoever posted Darpinian!
Again, thanks for this link. I saw ISS, some rando R/B, and Hubble tonight. I haven't really been looking for anything in a while since the iridium satellite flares are going out of orbit and the app I used to use no longer works (SatTracker?). I'm not as fond of Heavens Above, but because of this site I can get my bearings a little easier and supplement it with HA. Unfortunately the site didn't work great on my tablet.Tailgate88 said:

How long do you want to ignore this user?
I have set a calendar event for the Sunday evening pass.
I think it's Sunday Morning.scd88 said:

Isn't there one tomorrow morning at 6:18? Heavens-above uses military / 24 hour time.

Thanks for the correction...

Came over to double check the times and bump for tomorrow morning and Monday morning.
