Been following the ISS for many moons. It has just become an evening object for us LD, been a morning object for the past month. Very bright tonight, moving southwest to northeast looking south. It will be bright again tomorrow night as it transits starting at around 8:04 PM EDT moving as always southwest to northeast, but tomorrow night it will be more overhead looking north.

Go here for a better site to find out when the ISS will fly over your residence. Under the Configuration, enter your coordinates, use Google earth and find your home if you don't know. If you like this, bookmark the site, us satellite watchers swear by it.
