I'm sure there a few on here may be interested, but I've just seen the ISS, and it was the brightest I've ever seen it.

If weather stays the same, it should be another cracking view on Wed, but for those interested, look here and check your town:

You want the biggest "Max Elev" for the brightest view

my brother in law has got a stupid size telescope in his back garden, it has it's own shed and moves on its own via his laptop - but he aint used it for MONTHS.

I'll tell him - this might be just the thing to re-inspire him!

good post!

It's very bright - and might hurt his eyes

so you actually see the ISS with your telescope? would it be possible for u to manage to take a pic from the telescope for us to see? at least i cant use a telescope here due to the amount of light coming from the city reflecting on the sky.... hell i cant even see more than 4 or 5 stars at night!
