Today, i was in a coffe in Ourense with "chocolate con churros" and remember at 18:58 that I had an appointment with pmaupin that was delayed a lot of days.
Ok, I went to the Plaza Mayor in Ourense where is the City Town Hall and wait. I'm little nervous because the place was other and I hadn't sure if I could see that between the buildings. Therefore it was day.
In the point 1 it started to see the ISS from SW at about 18:59:53 (6:59 p.m.). It will travel from SW to the NE, and reach the highest point of 48° at 19:03:06. It will travel towards the SW to NE and you will lose sight of it about 19:06:21 just above the horizon. Magnitude -3.1.
The point 2 was in Wimille, France. The begining was at 19:02:21; Highest part of pass: 19:05:39 with high 63° and enter in the shadow. Magnitude -3.6. Fortunately, pmaupin saw it.
It was bright! the day and the place They didn't stop me from seeing it. Even the 48° height was not enough.
Thanks for the partner pmaupin.
I'm getting a taste for this category and with these French colleagues we can do more.
The ISS took 2 minute and 33 seconds, covering around 1200 km.
