Ready Your Cameras for the ISS Tonight

[WCGucfa]

Heads up guys! There will be a high -3.2 mag. 81 degree flyover of the space station
tonight, June 3.
It will be even more dramatic if there is broken cloud to lend some drama.
Start time: 20:55:47 from the WSW to the NE.
Note: It will pass through the handle of the Big Dipper around 20:59! Good Luck!!
PLEASE DISREGARD THIS NOTICE IF NOTHING HAPPENS.
Tools: Tripod, camera, 10 to 30 second exposure @ full aperture. ISO 400. Do test constellation exposures
before the event to be sure camera is focused sharp. Blow test up an be sure you're not getting cotton balls instead
of pinpoint stars.

Thanks for the heads up! Just read this @ 10:00pm. Might have passed low in Cassiopeia @ 10:35, according to SkySafari Pro v4.4, but too low for my horizon. Next time maybe!

yeah, I couldn't get out to view it either.
There will be a next time! This one DID have everything going for it though: height, brightness,
passage through bright constellations... oh well.
I'm surprised Mike didn't go for it.
