If anyone's still around in the early hours take a look up in the sky, the INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION is due to fly over Time: Mon Jun 10 at 0:18 AM, Visible for 6 min, Max Height: 57 degrees, Appears: W, Disappears: ESE

I'd love to see this, sky looks reasonably clear too. I don't have a compass though, I more or less know where the sun sets etc, so could get a general direction, would it be obvious do you think?

It was very clear last night . You won't miss it if you are looking in the general direction!

Yes was amazing worth it.did you catch any on camera?

you any pics to share with us?

If your the fortunate one who has a Radio Scanner these frequencies might help you catch the station speaking to Amateur Radio Operators if they have spare time. Its very rare but it may be good to listen while it passes over head.
