+munchtime Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 Morning All! I was out in the garden watching the meteor shower last night. (saw 37!) I also saw what is maybe the ISS going over. Now, I appreciate it could have been a UFO or bloomin' big sattelite but when I first started looking around the forums I am sure I came a cross a Virtual for the ISS. Or am I wrong?

+The Blorenges Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 I think it used to be a Locationless cache, once, ... in a far of time. They are no more. You can log it as a trad if you can get up there to sign the log book. Failing that, if you have a really excellent telescope you might just be able to spot the TB on it as it passes over International Space Station.

+Bear and Ragged Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 You're right. There was. It was archived 2-3 years ago. (Miss-catergorised, apparently it should have been a 'Locationless'...now not allowed.) Quote Link to comment
+The Patrician Posted August 13, 2010 Share Posted August 13, 2010 (edited) The position of the ISS (and other satellites) can be found here: http://www.heavens-above.com/ If you enter your position it will tell you when to expect to see the ISS and how bright it will be. The Iridium satellite flares on the same page are well worth looking out for. http://www.heavens-above.com/iridiumhelp.asp Regards, Neil Edited August 13, 2010 by Neil Pugh Quote Link to comment

International Space Station TB MrsB This seems like an obvious opportunity to combine this thread with the "Not Signing Logs" thread, and post a Found note saying "spotted from 200,000 feet below but didn't have a pen" or some such Quote Link to comment
