Rats, just missed tonight's good pass but two good ones tomorrow.

18:51 and 20:28.

Tonight was another seemingly overhead pass - crossing just south of Cranleigh

The first pass tomorrow is very close to being directly overhead.

Won’t it still be light tomorrow at that time?

I think sunsets about 630 so should be ok.

18:23 Sunset and dark at 18:56 down my way in the south tomorrow so maybe?

[silverthorn2151]

It doesn't have to be totally dark. ISS is very bright after all.

Yeah plus it’s a higher pass which helps. Fingers crossed.

I actually caught it in daylight once. The atmosphere must have been really clear that day.

Are you sure it was the ISS. According to Heavens Above t's due over Farnborough at 20.36 tonight.

[Zirconia]

There was another dimmer sat ahead of the ISS the other night but slightly different track. Didnt check it up to see what it was. Expecting 20:36 as well

[DoubleSix]
