International Space Station over UK

I've seen the ISS pass over me from SW London for the last three nights - it's unmistakeable as a bright slow moving 'star' travelling west to east at dusk. Some excellent telescopic pics taken from Europe up on SpaceWeather.com currently and precise 'pass' predictions for your location at Heaven-Above.com [select 'UK' and enter your town].

The ISS currently has the Shuttle spececraft attached and they've installed new solar panels but a telescope is needed to view them

My wideangle pics from last night attached

ISS will be viewable at dusk, I think, for the rest of the week.

Found this site really interesting. After registering you can input you lat. and long. and get the times for the appearance of the ISS and other things too.

Tried it out a few weeks ago - worked well.
