Nice pass of ISS tonight (Tuesday) between 21:08 and 21:14. Nearly straight overhead from SLC about 21:11.
Interestingly, it looks like it's going to pass in front of the Moon as seen from SPOC.

Success! (finally...) ISS zipped right in front of the Moon right on schedule. Using 11x80s I saw it ingress and egress the Moon but could not see it transit. Margaret Grim had the same experience using smaller binoculars. Bruce did see it using a small refractor. Happily, I got this one on video. Will try and convert it to digital and post it to the web soon. Many thanks to CalSky.Com for making the accurate prediction. Was anyone else able to see the transit or maybe a very close miss?
