Clear here in West Yorks. Wasn't as bright as I have seen it. Shame we will never see the ISS and shuttle in the same orbit again.

The latest ISS viewing season has started.

There will be a pass at 5.26 pm tomorrow night.

Really good passes from 17th December right through to Christmas Day.

I had high hopes, but the sky to the south and west was very foggy and and annoying clouds blowing across.

Yesterday was dismal in London, no chance at all. Today is bright and clear but the passes tonight aren't particularly good, however tomorrow's at 18:05 should be impressive, if only the weather holds up. Then Tuesday at 18:01 it's almost overhead.

Oh dear I seem to have missed the start of the latest ISS season on January 26.

Thanks to TVQueen for the heads up.

While you are all trying to see the asteroid tonight you might as well see the very bright ISS.

A very good pass at 7.05 pm.

See ground track

More passed on HA here

Wow, that's overhead here. Cloud is closing over however, but at least it's not raining, which is something.

An excellent pass of the ISS at 6.09 pm. Right overhead in the south of England.

Pretty good even from Inverness.

Thanks for that, there's a lovely clear sky here in N.E. England so I'll be off outside soon.

Here is what it is like from Newcastle

Goes right below Jupiter which is right beside the moon.

Very good.

I have just seen a really nice pass. This must be the latest pass in a viewing I have seen.
