Tonight, I saw the ISS zooming through the sky, in Ohio. I saw my neighbors looking up at something moving through the sky, and I didn't know what it was, but one of them said it was the ISS. It will be visible for a few more nights, so I hope to check it out with my binoculars, if I can time it right.
Anyone else see it? http://spaceflight.nasa.gov/realdata/sig......Columbus |

Not tonight, but I have seen it many times. It is a very impressive sight, indeed.

So how do I know when to see it? Could someone explain when and where to look? I went to the chart for my location and this is what it said for November 13:
Sat Nov 13/06:55 PM Duration- 2 minutes Max Elevation- 44 degrees Approach- 16 Degrees above NNW Departure- 44 Degrees above NNE |

I can't decipher that stuff. Just look in the sky at 6:50pm and wait. You should be able to see a very bright object moving across the sky at around 6:55pm. It should be towards the Northern sky though.
Good Luck. |

As far as I understand, you should be able to see it from 06:55 till 06:57. It will appear to the NNW, approximately 16 degrees above the horizon and disappear 44 degrees above the horizon in the NNE.
Have not done any satellite watching for a long time though. Another thing worth looking for are the various Iridium satellites. |

Since I am on the road before sunrise I see it a lot.
Very bright! Maybe because it is moving towards me it don't look like it's moving. Then, maybe I'm seeing something else. I was told it was the ISS. |
