    ISS was easily visible here in NYC in the south at 17:43:07. I made the 
    effort to wait and see Expedition 1, but at 11 degrees up and mag 5.7, didnt 
    expect much!
    
    And I didnt get much. ONLY a last minute spot!...I distingushed it from 
    airplanes since it was not blinking, and moving steadily towards the horizon. 
    Quite dim indeed. (How dim was it?!). Dim enough so that when looking 
    directly at it (through binocs at 7x), it disappeared. 
    
    Interesing all in all; my first Soyuz sighting.
