Today/night at Charlie Elliott with the ISS

28 November, 2009 (13:39) | Observing | By: tramakers

Last night Frank Garner and I decided on short notice to witness the ISS flyby at CE. The first flyby happend at 5:30 in the Eastern sky. The second at 7:07 in the Western sky. Not as nice as the flybys of the ISS and the Shuttle of a few days ago, but as always very nice!

Stephen Ramsden has send an email that he will be at CE for solar and evening observing at CE. So if you want to join him and also see, or image, another pass of the ISS, Stephen should be there! The ISS pass for tonight:
