Hi All Have just had a very good ISS pass over Belfast Northern Ireland. It was nice and high at approximately 02:40 BST (01:40 GMT) as per Heavens Above's prediction. As it came up to its highest it passed just above Altair, most impressively bright, much brighter than that star. I'm no judge of magnitude so I'll leave it at that. It also appeared to be brighter than any other star visible from here. Belfast has the most damnable light pollution and it is very muggy and hazy too, so only the brighter stars are visible tonight. I have been trying to see ISS for several weeks now since it came back on view here in Belfast, but have been clouded out every time. It was a good start to my birthday :) Michael Comiskey, Belfast, Northern Ireland (54.5830°N, 5.8830°W) -- Michael Comiskey, mjc@number8.dnet.co.uk "Any research done on how to efficiently use computers has been long lost in the mad rush to upgrade systems to do things that aren't needed by people who don't understand what they are really supposed to do with them."
