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.

Richie, the Shuttle is now able to draw power from the Station, so they will be able to stay up there for an extra three days. I'll try and find the actual return date.
