ISS Tracking
Franklin , Tennessee - if you still have'nt seen it yet , tonight is a very good opportunity @ 1825. The more open horizon area you have , means more sky area to allow you to watch it pass over head. This open area means , no trees , no roof tops , no light poles , no street lights and no car lights. AND , no police officers waiting around , to steal your coat and binoculars ,
Keep in mind , 1825 is not an exact time. So you need to be watching about 10 minutes before hand with your fingers crossed.
If in doubt about the orbit , check your favorite web site , to confirm ISS's track. You'll need 30 minutes for your eyes to correct themselves , to see in the dark , after looking at the computer screen.
1833 hours - it's only 2 degrees windchill , with a half sky of clouds. ISS went directly over my house , headed SSE , just missing the half moon :)
