January is a month with few sattellites. One of them the 20 with Alfouine.
In a place of San Cibrao de Viñas (I changes the current situation because I was shopping and I stopped in one coffee), point 1 it started to see the ISS from SW at about 19:46:57 (7:46 p.m.). It will travel from SW to the NE, and reach the highest point of 74° at 19:50:16. It will travel towards the SW to NE and you will lose sight of it about 19:51:48 just above the horizon (29º). Magnitude -3.7.
The point 2 was in Tours, France. The begining was at 19:49:02; Highest part of pass: 19:51:48 with high 59° and enter in the shadow. Magnitude -3.3. Unfortunately for Alfouine was clouddy
It was bright! It will look like a bright star, moving across the night sky, taking only two minutes to go across the sky, above the highway and lost in the building.
Thanks for the partner Alfouine, and tomorrow we will try other.
The ISS took 1 minute and 32 seconds, covering around 723 km.
