BTW if the night is clear & there is a decent ISS pass predicted its well worth nipping outside for 5 minutes and watching it go over to see how bright it is these days.

Supposedly the third brightest object in the night sky I heard recently.

[Analoguesat]

2.6 billion miles give or take (~ the distance to Neptune)
