    Good show tonight. Bright and lasted a long time. The Mrs. even came out and took a look while we watched our pooch chase June bugs.

    Yep. From my backyard viewpoint it passed through the lower half of Orion and then through the tip of Taurus before fading out. 5 minutes of total observation time, and all before my bedtime. Yay!

    I caught a glimpse of what I think was the ISS last night about 845pm when I took my dog out to conduct her business. I will look it up to see if it was for sure, but since Nerd fixed my computer I do not get the time schedule for the ISS viewings unless I use my wife mega cludge computer, which still gets observation times.

    Anyhow, the thing was high and bright. Almost directly overhead and travelling west to east until it faded out from loss of sunlight. A good look anyhow.

    As a result of sky-watching and taking my dog outside at around 850 PM every night, I have seen a number of other orbital objects showing up. The last one I saw was heading from South to North the night before last, and was fairly bright as it passed the pointer stars of the Big Dipper. Last night, I think I saw the same object last night heading from west to East in the same part of the sky.

    Point being, is that there are more things up in the sky to see than just the ISS.
