White Stork, Wonder if they sent a load of Sprite to trade with the aliens?

I've seen the ISS once maybe. Its hard to find a time that isn't 2am or longer than a couple of minutes. Lots of hills here and if the angle is low it's never going to pop up even if predicted.

If you would like to look nasa publishes tables of viewing times on this webpage.

You can also download a skywatch app that lets you put in your Long/Lat and calculates vewing times for your exact location. It lets you find several satellites including the cosmic background explorer and Hubble. Probably need a telescope for those but it tells you where to look.
