Hi
The computers call for a -3.3 pass of the space station. (That’s brighter than Jupiter)
It will start in the southwest and peak in the southeast direction, very high overhead (55 degrees altitude).
I hope lots of people see it.
I have followed it with a dob before (72x magnification).
The trick is to catch it in the eyepiece by estimating ahead of it with a red dot finder, then move the whole scope to keep it in there. With 2 people (one guiding, one looking), it’s much easier.
