This should be a good sighting if clear skies. There is second sighting at 8 21pm but only for 1 minute.

I got a good sighting for a few minutes last night, wendilla, thank you - it disappeared behind high cloud to the SE.

Nearly 6 pm and ISS is just going over New Zealand. Travelling at 17,145 mph it will be over uk in 45 mins.
Thank God I have just seen that in time. I will go and see it now but think that the skies may be cloudy tonight.
Perfect sighting this evening. Thanks as always, for the reminder Wendilla. OH and I really enjoy spotting the ss on a clear night, especially when its early.

Yes, I have just seen it for a very short time. I did not see any people waving from it though. Are they not very friendly or can I just not see them with the naked eye?

You need to stand in the right place when it is going over and they might just see you waving .
