Chuck or Patrick,
Could you please clarify the time question Chuck asked? Is the time Patrick listed military or local (UT) time??? Could we get directions to the loaction you two will be at? I may try to get some gear together and come depending on final time.
Thanks,
Jim Stitley

Jim, you'll see a tiny silhouette of the ISS against
the solar disk. Use at least 50x. Patricks mileage
may vary.
I'd shoot a still myself, but with my hand still in a
cast it will be impossible. I'll either watch
Patricks monitor or just stay glued to my own
eyepiece.
Patrick, I have a 5" B&W monitor with RCA inputs that
I can bring if needed. Let me know.
