>How did you find ISS in daylight? What was the Sun's az/el and ISS'? >(Or >your coordinates) My geographical coordinates are: 39.706 N; 75.683 W. The sun's altitude was -6.3 degrees. The sky was still very much blue. The limiting magnitude was around 0, and ISS was predicted for -1.1. ISS was about 45 degrees high in the western sky. Only one other star was visible. It didn't matter that there wasn't any other stars in the sky, because the International Space Station was bright enough to break through the twilight. It's kind of like the sun (well, sort of): you don't need guide stars to find it, because it's bright enough to be located by itself. ================================================================ Jonathan T.
