I picked up the ISS at about 20° above the horizon. It passed a little more than the length of Crux below Acrux, within a degree of Alpha Centauri and about 6 degrees under the moon before entering eclipse (or perhaps it was just obscured by clouds, I'm not sure  ).
Always good to watch!

Lucky you. At least you saw it.
I missed this passing due to the usual cloud cover.
I was hoping to get some images of the ISS but no luck. I will have to try again on Tuesday.
