    First Merry Christmas/Happy Holidays to my fellow sat observer's/trackers.
    
    Saw two passes of the iss, first one low in the sky as it passed alp lyr ( Vega ), For the next
    one while at work, I went outside, to watch it pass high in the sky. So two passes in a row I saw,
    a mini iss marathon. Worked a few hours, so made some big money, so I can buy some toys:) We had
    christmas last week, as my sister went to france for Christmas.
    
    Now for the sat video, I captured before going into work. I always work during the night, so it
    was strange going to work during the day.
