Sure did Mimo

I was watching for it.

Yes, it was bright. Magnitude -1.8 was predicted. It was brightest object in the sky - like a mobile Venus!

Could have been fooled into thinking it was a plane with landing lights on!


Here is where to look:-

Choose the option to select your location from map or database etc. Then click on the ISS.

There is a really bright pass at 4:30 Saturday morning. Predicted -2.5 - it should be a stunning sight and we could compare its brightness with Venus which will be up then! I think I'll have to set the alarm!!
