How to see the Space Station pass overhead

Hey Dragonrider! Thanks very much for this information! :thumbsup:
I already did see a lot of satellites cross the sky, but never thought about trying to see the ISS... dont know if it will be visible from my (south) hemisphere, anyway, i will look at the link you posted.
And i will look to the sky as soon the rain stops...

Another tip: Sometimes I like to bring my binoculars just to make it that much brigher. Looking at the sky throguh good binoculars is great.
