There are some really good visible passes of the ISS coming up in the next 10 days - up to magnitude -3.3 and altitude 60 degrees. Times vary but best passes are mainly between 9.00 p.m. and 11.00 p.m. Details on ....   http://www.heavens-above.com/

I love these images. This link shows the ISS passing in front of the Sun .....  http://www.astronomycamerasblog.com/2010/03/22/iss-transiting-the-sun/?forumid=127055

This one shows the ISS transiting the Moon .....   http://twitpic.com/1i286j?forumid=127055

Reminds me of something out of Star Wars and gives a real sense of scale.

Nice one Mike.

Another amateur has also taken this one which is quite impressive...

which is not to dissimilar to the one that Paul took from Brough.


If you are interested in spotting or taking pictures of the ISS this webpage is also useful...
