Catch IIS if you can...

Hi All,

Everyone who study / interested in Sky knows about ISS ( International Space Station ).

Lets try to catch it visually..

Following are the details of visibility of ISS.

Date: Monday, 11 December, 2006
Observer's Location: Mumbai ( 18.9670°N, 72.8330°E)

It will be visible from morning 6:03 am t0 6:09 am **- very small period of time indeed....

At magnitude -1.0 - it will start apearing from North of Auriga and move above Gemini then passing through Leo almost kissing Saturn and then will set in Centaurus...

(All those who know sky-watching they will understand what do i mean by Auriga, Gemini, Leo & Centaurus; other please forgive me this time..)

Following is the Map of Path IIS will cover...







Please try to catch it and Let me know if you can...
If you can catch it through telescope then you may be able to see it's Solar Panels..

**I will post Updated Timings and map on 9 or 10th Dec, as predictions become more accurate for near actual date...

Best of Luck
