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.

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

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

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.
