[HIham] ISS Visible Saturday, May 13 approx 8:00 pm

Hawaii Hams, especially on Oahu.

There is a great opportunity to view the ISS on the evening of Saturday, 
May 13.  At a little after 8:00 pm, the ISS will be visible as it rises 
from the Northwest, and climbs to an altitude of 62 degrees (that's 
almost 2/3 of the way from the horizon to vertical overhead).  It 
continues on to the Southeast, but eventually will hit a point where the 
earth blocks the sunlight and it won't be visible for the remainder of 
the pass.  Should be a nice one to watch, and you'll gain a newfound 
appreciation for the precision of orbital mechanics.

I'll post more details later in the week.
