Anyone had the chance to look at the ISS with a decent telescope when its been passing, apparantly every few days they dump water, it can be seen as a trail of ice crystals.

Also, is anyone living out of town with less light pollution? Its pretty bright where I am surrounded my lights.

For information ISS will pass overhead again tonight at around 10:03, at its closest it will be only 230 miles away.
TREKKER is the one with some juicy telescopes. Have you seen the Station Allan ?.
