I thought this might be of interest to all y’all. I need to get out my star chart and my binoculars because there’s not much sky glow here, and I should be able to spot it easily. Although it can be spotted with the naked eye, how much more fun would it be to see it bigger? ;o]

That all depends. If 'it' is an oncoming train, not much more fun at all.

We do get to see the ISS fairly regularly.
A very bright light in the sky.
I’m always thankful that it is an international build....If it was entirely designed here we would still be arguing about where to put the Kettle.
