Giacaches was to see the International Space Station in Minnesota . At 21:36:23 CDT it would be at the maximum altitude of 57° with a predicted brightness magnitude of -3.3. The western wildfires caused too much haze added to some cloud cover in Minnesota to allow the Station to be seen at site 1.
I moved west away from the city lights, while waiting I spotted two passing airliners and plenty of stars.
I spotted the space station out away at at 22:38 EDT, it tracked steadily along, still visible at the maximum altitude of 62° at 22:40:22 EDT with a brightness magnitude of -3.6, until at 22:40:28 EDT when it disappeared into the cloud / haze.
The time and distance between the Minnesota(site 1) and Pennsylvania (site 2) is 4 minutes and about 1200 miles.
A special thanks to r.e.s.t.seekers and, Max and 99 for the support.
