It's a great sight alright, I just love the way it whistles along against the starry backdrop.

I also admire those who capture images as well, a lot of planning and dedication go into those images.

Cheers

It is always exciting to watch the ISS track across the sky, I tend to give sightings reports to relatives/friends, they all go "oh yeah boring".Then when they actually see it they think it's wonderful, my brother and his young children dragged the neighbours out one night, like a street party!
The sighting this morning at 0535 was fantastic, 5 minutes, then when it was at it's highest there was the flash of absolute brilliant light, almost like an explosion (yes I know catching, at that moment the early morning sunlight!)
Another 5 minutes tomorrow morning!
