The Sun will be up so I do not know if the ISS at -0.5 mag will be visible as it approaches. It may be a "negative" apparent transit - a black ISS traversing a blue-white Moon. The transit duration is only 1 second. I also find having a watch preset to accurate UTC time necessary. Personally, I have a pocket shortwave radio and listen to the NIST WWV Shortwave Time Broadcast. Frequencies (Mhz) 2.5, 5, 10, 15, 20. In my experience, the ISS transits are usually 2 or 3 minutes after the posted CalSky time. - Canopus56 __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
