RASC Hamilton Tonight's ISS pass

[Roger Hill]

During last weeks NOVA course, a very good pass of the ISS over sothern Ontario was employed to show the use of sky charts.

I've posted that sky chart in NOVA section of the Forums, in case anyone wants to use it.

The ISS will go into the Earths shadow before it completely goes across the sky, so look for any colour changes as it does.  

Also, if you have binoculars, use them for this and see if the ISS looks distinctly "non-stellar" or not.  Does it seem to change shape as it goes from one side of the sky to the other?

Roger
