ISS Transits Moon 2moro Sun 26th, GoldCoast ?

Hi All,
In breif, A Heads Up And I would like to ask if any of you ISS Transiters in SE QLD / NE NSW have had an Alert for this event ? If so, I would like some confirmation as I'm very new to this, ?

After being registered with Calsky for 12 months, I have had approx 5-6 alerts which is within a 200klm Radius of my location, all these pevious alerts has put the position/location for observation between 50-150klms out to sea ? The only prob with this, is that I dont have a Canoe to take my mount and scope/s there, even tho I have contemplated it, to the extent of even taking along a good piece of plastic to keep my scopes dry when Im single paddling out through the Seaway Breakers, Lol , ,

Anyway, I would like any confirmation of this event (PM also an option) as I'm kinda only guessing at the exact time, or, basically a minute or two prior to start Video, this is of high importance as the ISS will be in Shadow at the time, so wont be seeing it coming ?
I will be investigating between now & then, on how to operate my 600D in Vid Crop Mode, that info I already have, but need to fimiliarise myself with it !
Hence, why timing is important, as looking through thousands of frames will undoubtably be very time consuming

I have also attached some snippets from various assocciated web maps on the Center line/Path and the times at a few locations that were linked to my Email Alert,
Basically also need to know the Time Zoning etc, and whether I have too allow for SE QLD 10hr Timezone adjustment to the specified time shown in attachments or any other adjustments that need to be applied ?

So, if anyone is onto this, I would much appreciate any confirmation on these times in the attached snippets

Thanx very much in advance
Anyway, Hope the clouds play away, and if any one else is having a go, Best of luck

Saw your awesome ISS shot in another thread and my immediate reaction was BS! That's the best shot I've ever seen. You even got the colors right. Then reading on about your tracking and how you moved the tripod leg I thought again BS! Freaky.

Sorry for any inconvenience IISérs, but I have now soughted my Timing issue !

The ISS Transit is Not Sat 25th , , But , Sunday 26th, My Mistake in excitement
This Time now relates to the 'Heavens Above' Data Though, a better chance of clearer weather with the passing of the current cloud band, but Not a promising event as the ISS will be only 10-15 deg Alt in a SE direction, that'll put the ISS aprox 1000 or so klms distant, another and a with a

Hi & welcome Bendan !
I was somewhat successful in capturing the transit in Dslr Video, quite a buzz being a 1st, tho the ISS was very small at the time !
