    Journal.ie has it saying that the iss will be passing in front of the moon tonight. Visible on a line between dublin and bantry bay. Astronomy ireland has the map. Looks like Naas is on the line.

    I watched it from my backyard. Got to see about a second of the solar panels on it as it whizzed by. How people image it is beyond me. My mount on its fastest setting couldn't track that!

    You only need to track the moon for that and go for short exposures.
    Observed it with binoculars, a sight to remember....
