saw it again, thanks for the heads-up. I hadn't seen an ISS flyover in about three years. I had a small part in the construction phase of ISS, and performed fit-checks at KSC on the U.S. Lab and in Tsukuba on the J.E.M. A fun part of my former career, a couple years after graduating from LSU.

another good sighting. Brighter than Friday. Higher up too, and nearly transited the moon.

Thanks again for the heads-up

Had some cloud cover here that broke it up a little. Pretty cool.

I watched it go over my house last night. Very bright. Night before last was probably the brightest iridium flare I've seen. I tried to photograph it, but wasn't angled right



The gf and I were out on her deck in Gulf Shores and happened to see it go over. Pretty cool!
