Some good evening ISS passes on the way for SE Australia

[sheeny (Al)]

The ISS will be back in phase for some favourable evening passes this week. I have included screen dumps from Orbitron from the best ones, just to give a quick indication of path and footprint. I suggest you check times and details closer to the event either with Heavens-Above or your satellite tracking software.

On Thursday the 10th the pass will be favourable for locations north of Sydney/Oberon especially the Queensland coast.

Friday nights pass is good for inland areas northwest from Sydney/Oberon and probably a few hundred kilometres each side of the flight path.

Saturday night should be good for coastal areas south of Brisvegas maybe even as far as Taswegia.

Sunday night's pass should be good for Victorians and Taswegians and maybe as far north as Sydney or so.

Hope you get to see it.

Al.

Thanks Al, but at 6:04pm on Sunday Evening it might be a bit hard to see. I'll look though!

Thanks, as always, for the heads-up Al.
Looking forward to having another look and maybe capturing some images of it too.

Ken, still too close to sunset, you are thinking?? For the last pass that I saw (1st April):

sunset was around 6:14pm, the transit was around 6:35pm. Sunset is now before 5:30 - a 6:04 pass should be brilliant. In fact, by the track I saw it might go somewhere near Venus??
