>of weeks and thought many would like to do the same.  So, if you are 
>interested, you have an excellent opportunity to do so tonight!  At 
>8:51pm tonight, 10 Sept. the ISS will be quite visible.  The 
>duration will be over 3 minutes at a maximum elevation of 31 
>degrees.  It will approach from the NNW and depart to the ENE.
>
>So, just look to the North-northwest at about 8:50 tonight to pick 
>it up, close to the horizon.  You can't miss it, it will be quite 
>bright like an aircraft with its landing light on but you will see 
>no beacons nor strobes.  It will appear to move quickly across the 
>night sky and is easily mistaken for an aircraft unless you are 
>looking for it."
