Hi Matt,

Thanks very much..

I went outside and it was like a bright star moving across the sky. I haven't seen the ISS before, so it was excellent to see for the first time.

Cheers,
Mark

I saw it last night from Perth. Got the wife and boys out to see it too. The boys were spun out by the fact that the moving dot in the sky had several astronauts in it. "What are they doing right now Dad?" "Can they see us waving at them?"

There is a website you can register on and it sends you an email whenever your location is going to have a good ISS pass. Can't remember the name of it but when I do i'll post it here.

I have another pass for the ISS listed tonight (2013-03-09). It's not good, appearing in the west 21:48 mag 1.6 and disappearing near Tucana 21:53 mag 0.1

Visit http://spotthestation.nasa.gov/

Here, you have a live, streaming video feed from a camera mounted outside the ISS looking down at Earth:

And this is real-time map projection of ISS current location:

If you run these during a pass, you may even get a glimpse of your local bright lights from orbit!
