Glad you were able to see it. When I watch an ISS pass I always enjoy thinking about all the heartbeats on board. Another nice pass tomorrow (see below). patrick On 08 Jan 2015, at 16:14, Linton Rohr <lintonius@earthlink.net> wrote:
Thanks for the heads-up, Patrick! While I'm not the biggest fan of observing man-made objects, I always enjoy a good iridium flare or ISS sighting. It looked really nice rising up under Jupiter and the moon, and I was able to follow it all the way across the sky, until it faded into the brightening eastern horizon over Capitol Reef. And all from the comfort of a well-placed corner window in our bedroom. ;^) Linton, down in Torrey
