    Since I don't know where people will look, I'll put this here too as it is kind of neat. 

    Wow..  looks like we're in a period where the ISS is going over Rochester in the evening, even some in the morning. 

    But..  wow.  Just stumbled on it.  Looking at the ISS pass as it is now listed now for today, June 8, it looks like the ISS will pass right by Saturn!  That should mean if we put a scope on Saturn, we can probably see the ISS as it passes by!  Wow!  I'll have to try and get out there and take a look.  Hopefully no clouds tonight.  The pass will start a little after 9:30 tonight.
