ISS Pass again tonight. Time: Sat Feb 09 6:53 PM, Visible: 5 min, Max Height: 48°,
Appears: 10° above
WNW, Disappears: 26° above SSE
The forecast is partly cloudy, Gary just stepped out and sees increasing clouds and no
visible moon. The temperatures are dropping, and none of the astronomers appear to be
available tonight, so we won't be bringing telescopes out tonight for all those
reasons. If you feel so inclined, and can see some patches of sky, step outside to see the
ISS pass at 6:52 p.m. and look for the slim crescent moon. It's 22% illuminated, and
sets at 10 p.m. We may try again next Saturday but some of us are not available then
either. Hang in there for better weather and less busy volunteer astronomers.
