[GCARC] Pictures from Space AND a Visible ISS pass tonight!

[Jon Pearce]

The Russians on the ISS are transmitting SSTV images through tomorrow. The frequency is 437.55 and the encoding is Robot-36.  Check heavens-above.com for the schedule- note that (a) you need to enter your latitude and longitude unless you've already set up a login with them, and (b) you need to include ALL passes, not just those visible.

TONIGHT there appears to be a great pass for both satellite-watching and image capturing as there's a VISIBLE pass starting at 8:18 PM in the southwest and continuing almost directly overhead (89 degree max elevation) setting in the northeast. So get your friends, binoculars, HT and phone and go out to watch it pass overhead AND record the SSTV pictures.
