I had my trusty 6" vintage Dynascope out last night in the driveway, showing my daughter's boyfriend the lovely crescent moon and edge-on rings of Saturn, when I happened to notice the ISS flying over. I managed to swing the scope up and get a second or two of focus on that very bright pass, able to make out the twin rectangular solar arrays in that brief moment @ 75x; pretty neat!
