Hey, I'm north of 70; just glad I can still see the moving light anyway! But we did see the launch from 70 miles away. That's just moving lights, too. Pretty cool.

Interesting. It was right on time (visually) here in central Florida. Last night, too. Even winked out within 5 seconds of prediction. Tracked with ISS Discovery on iPhone 8, so I have no idea of the Keps date/time. It just does it by magic.

I went outside tonight to watch a high pass of the ISS and it was "running late." About 5-10 minutes. Beautiful pass though.
When I came into the shack to check SatPC32, I discovered the current download of nasabare keps was dated 11/4.
Apparently the ISS made a maneuver to accept the Dragon capsule and slightly raised its orbit.
Oh well, it's always fun to watch the ISS go over.
