Just got a visual on the ISS!!!!
CoooooooL!!! I must have Orbitron set up correctly. I just watched the space station go overhead!!!
One SMALL step for me:-)

The thing that surprised me the most was how BIG it appears to be in the sky. What I could see with the naked eye looked like 2 large squares, connected at the points. VERY inspiring!! I wish I had taken my binoculars out with me. I will be watching for other passes. Strange thing is, I didn't hear any activity on 145.800. I figured I would hear some kind of activity.

Hi Rod and all,
Check out this website: http://www.astrospider.com This is an amateur astronomer who made some very cool pictures of the ISS (and MIR) with his telescope!

I have another pass about 7:30 tonight. Now if I can just find my video camera:-) Orbitron shows a MAG of -1.2 so I should be able to see it again. (I HOPE)
