TableLeg Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 Indeed the ISS app is amazing. Watching the sun break over the earth surface is incredible. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I looked and looked but didn't see.. There's a bit of high cloud that may be obscuring it. Will have another look when it's back round again shortly at 6:13 pm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marcus Barlow - Show and Events Co-ordinator Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 ISS spotter app is quite good, free and gives current live position and forecast for your location 😎 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paul Hurdsfield - Joint Manchester AO Posted December 1, 2019 Share Posted December 1, 2019 If you go on the NASA website, register and put in your location you will get email updates of when it will be visible over you, twice tonight, the early one it was a bit light so it was hard to spot, the later one was clear as a bell, but I'm used to it, I know where to look and what to look for😊 My eight year old grandson stayed over last night and I was able to point it out to him.
