    It is still not a true daylight object , but with awful conditions prevailing here for the last three months making night obs almost impossible I have reverted to daylight viewing.
    
    OK ISS isn't a true daytime object , but it flashed across the sky here about 30 minutes ago and was picked out quite clearly in a 9 arc min FOV.
    
    Elevation was 53 degs with the Sun well above the horizon..
