McNaught and the ISS

[horst]

on Sunday 28th at 9:06:28pm, the ISS and two supply boxes are going to pass within 1 degree of the comets head , as seen from the standard Sydney position... according to Starry Night
I wonder if this is actually going to happen?

Wow that will be quite a sight.. thanks for the heads-up.
