You're correct. My CalSky alert shows tonight's passes as 21, 48, 48, and 21 degrees elevation from here in Cache Valley, but the accompanying images which I used as a reference show the 48 degree passes as directly overhead and the 21 degree passes at about 50 degrees elevation. It seems there's something amiss in their chart calculation. Still, 4 or 5 passes in one night is relatively rare. Thanks for the correction.

There are 4 bright, nearly-overhead ISS passes tonight/tomorrow morning. It should be clear skies and nice weather - a great opportunity to for observing.

Are you talking about northern Utah?
I ask because NASA is showing the next passes for N Utah will only reach 40, 14, 14, 39 and 23 degrees and not the 90 degrees for overhead.
