That it for the night?
That site posted is overloaded i couldn't check

There are 2 more passes tonight, first one is a visible one, but it enters the earths shadow way out to the west of ireland and would probably only be barely visible if you were on the west coast as its eclipsed low down. The one after it is eclipsed completely when within visual range.

Almost overhead I hear you say??
I'm visiting friends in Bandon this evening and the ISS will be passing directly (and if www.n2yo.com is very accurate Exactly) over our heads.

Will the viewing at 18.46 tonight be visible or will it still be too bright?

EDIT: Yup it looks like it will be visible, I can see stars....and Jupiter!

Probably saw it for the longest time tonight without it going into the earths shadow. Brilliant as always.

Sir, I bid thee to get thyself to http://iss.astroviewer.net/ and thence select the observation tab. Inputtage of your positional location will spit out a series of times and information for the next few days ISS spotting! Enjoy!

Another great view of it tonight. I had my 5 year old and her friend out looking at it tonight. Both of them were in awe at it.

It sure will! It's only visible for 1 minute this time but should still be good!

Wow that was quick - was looking in the wrong place to begin with so I was lucky to catch it at all. The earlier one is really the best time.

Brilliant site - thanks for posting. By the time I'd come in from watching it, checked the location, it was over France:eek:
