[AZ-Observing] Re: ISS Pass tonight

My wife & I caught the pass from mid-Phoenix last night.  Space Weather
predicted the start at 9:04 but at 9:02 we saw it emerge from a light NNW
cloud layer.  Got quite bright as it passed over N and the 26dec point then
quickly faded as it started dropping back down in the NNE region of the
sky.  We always try to catch a pass every few weeks when they're at
"reasonable" hours of the evening.  Iridium flares are always fun to catch
too.
