    Doe's anyone else strack the International Space Station

    On Saturday we were invited to one of our neighbours for a meal, he had told me before that he tracks the International Space Station, and saturday as we had our meal he said it would be comoing over at 9.25 pm and 5 seconds. Sure enough dead on the second a bright light appeared from the southwest, and continued overhead towards the east. He showed me how he tracked it on his iphone and ipad I was amazed.

    I've tried a couple of times, unfortunately the Scottish sky is very rarely clear enough to see it, I used this site >http://www.isstracker.com/

    We were lucky on Saturday, the sky was cloudy until about 9pm, then the cloud suddenly cleared just in time. I suppose if you didn't know to look you could mistake it for a plane, we get alot of planes over here coming out of Heathrowe and Stansted, but this was much brighter and no engine noise.

    I may try it again on a clear winter night, we have lots of planes here too with Edinburgh being just a few miles away.
