Mrs R and I were outside just after twilight yesterday (busily disagreeing about the position of Izar) when the ISS came from behind a tree, occulting Acturus,through the zenith and out to the SE where it faded from view after getting to the earths shadow.
thats the first time we've seen it, fantastic!
-Its really hard to get the brain to agree that it is not a plane at 1000 Metres when its that bright and that fast.
