when you said, "that's gotta be progress," that was a "no pun intended," right? ;) don't worry about the weather, especially since you live in SoCal. I have more often than not been unable to view ISS passes due to overcast, it seems, but by checking HA regularly have logged many dozens of sightings of her since 1998. Even on days when it is mostly cloudy, find a nice "landmark" star along her path, you can watch her zip between breaks in the cloudcover; I've even watched her while it was pouring rain on my position once. It's a special treat to see the sunlight reflected from the station burn through thin overcast. this is especially cool when ISS is the only object visible through said cloudcover. clear skies! stephan szyman chicago IL USA 41.6840N, 87.7000W; 188 msl Who would have imagined then that >the US and Russia would actually be launching spacecraft for each other 30 >years later?
