How to see the Space Station pass overhead

[Ubalubus]

With a good pair of binoculars or a telescope you can actually make out the shape of the space stations solar wings

I bought a pair of 15x70's... a little unwieldy but not too bad if laying back in a lounge chair with them. And yes, i was able to make out the solar panels on the ISS with them - albeit very tiny, it was incredible to see.
