7 minutes is just about the longest time you can view the iSS at one occurrence.

We have had great viewing in BR area before.

Your southwest or my southwest?
I know, I know....I've used that one before.

Yup, and I try to go out and look at it whenever conditions are optimal. Hoping for clear skies tonight.

I miss the days when the shuttle would pass over BR during re-entry for some Florida landings. Especially the night ones like STS-93. We’d watch it pass over, then wait the ten minutes or so for the sonic booms to “catch up.”

Yep. I remember them vividly. It sucked after Columbia when they moved the reentry path to over the Gulf.
It was also cool when you could see the ISS crossing the sky with the shuttle chasing right behind it during shuttle missions. Like two stars running across the sky after each other.

Will you need a telescope to see or visible with the bare eye?

You probably don't need a telescope. Can see it plainly from Denham Springs.

Naked eye. It looks like a star basically, but it moves really fast. Probably too fast to track with a telescope

It looks like a bright star or planet and moves across the sky similar to a plane but the trajectory is different than a plane.

So assuming a flat earth, it doesn’t just go back and forth?

It passes again tonight from 11:09-11:10 at an angle of 10 deg in the NW sky.

That's a damn good assumption.

I don’t get this post. The original post was made on this calendar day. What am I missing?
Edit: Google is my friend and it passes by again but for a much shorter time. It will pass by for a 6 minute stretch a few times coming up.

Also, the bright orange plasma trail it left in the sky was one of the coolest things I've seen.
