Try again tmw night. Just after six pm. Use same site.
Was much higher than predicted. Supposed to be higher angle tmw. And six minute duration.

I believe I seen it last night as well,was it's trajectory west to east?
If so it was bright and cruising pretty damn fast.

It's pretty hard to miss if it's clear.

PaulS 02-18-2016 08:50 AM

Gonna try this tonight. Thanks Ross.

Good chance tonight, 73* above the horizon is almost directly overhead, I would say.

Saw it once when it was docked with the space shuttle. That was very impressive.

One of the better ones I've seen. Thought it was going to pass through the moon....

The best one I saw was when the shuttle was docked to the space station

PaulS 02-18-2016 06:20 PM

I just saw it. Stupid question but why is it bright? Is that the Sun reflecting off it?

With astronauts from around the globe accustumed to different time zones they work in shifts so the lights are always on.

PaulS 02-18-2016 06:40 PM

They should close the curtains.

yes the sun
below the horizon and our view is still shinning on it

and i forgot to mention thanks Ross for the heads up

DZ 02-19-2016 07:40 AM

Thanks for the heads up - saw it last night on the second pass at 7:45. It was visible for less than a minute but looked reddish and was quick. I'll be ready for tonight although it looks like we may have cloud cover.

Raven 02-20-2016 07:24 AM
