What is the epoch of your data? I think the latest available is 2008-02-18 05:59:58. One of those passes hits 89.2 degrees elevation in Sydney, the other 81.
Heavens Above shows a couple of bright passes (-2.4) on the 25 and 27 for Melbourne at a more "civilised" time of around 9:20 and 8:30. By 6am I am already getting ready for work
Must put it in my calendar....haven't seen the space station or even a flare for months.

Eric,
I always update the elements immediately prior to running a prediction. The difference you may be seeing is that the results are for Oberon not Sydney, perhaps.

Al.
I realised after making a long post that your predictions were centred on Oberon, and promptly deleted that post, leaving the other one in its place. I felt just a tad silly

Ahh, that' OK mate! I that's the silliest thing you've done for a while you're doing OK!
Don't forget tonight's pass of the ISS should be very close to directly over head in Sydney! The skies are clear here, so even though I feel like death warmed up, I'm going to try to venture out with the camera... don't think I'll set up the scope though. (It's amazing how much that looks like I feel!)
Tomorrow night should be a ripper for Adelaide and Melbourne!
In the evening of the 26th is another great one for Sydney and surrounds.
The 27th and 28th evening passes are good for Melbourne and Tassie.
Check with Orbitron or Heavens-above for accurate info for your location.
Looks like clouds for the pass in 2 days time, so hopefully this one remains clear. I see clouds building in the east already and there's still 1.5 hours to go
Only managed to see glimpses of it as it cut thru the clouds at close to zenith. Expected rain tomorrow in Sydney and all week, so not looking promising. 26th if clearer should be good - -2.4 mag. Finger x
Tried to drag the other 1/2 out, but Grey's Anatomy too important!
(It's amazing how much that looks like I feel!
