It was a great pass indeed, the best ISS pass I've seen bar none.
Even though the sky still had "daylight" in it to the west I was able to locate the ISS clearly by naked eye, low in the NW sky initially at no more than 15° elevation.
It rose majestically, passing through Orion just north of the Belt, then passing not too far south of Sirius which gave good opportunity to compare brightness of each - the ISS clearly brighter, as predicted for my location (mag -2.1) - and it eventually descended to the south passing "below" Crux and coming within a very short distance of Alpha Centauri.
I didn't see any of the flaring that I have occasionally seen with the ISS and more so with the Hubble passes, but regardless this was still the best ISS flyover I've ever seen!
