Today the places of watch this ISS were in Spain.
In the point 1 it started to see the ISS from SW at about 19:53:28 (7:53 p.m.). It will travel from NW to the ESE, and reach the highest point of 82° at 19:56:48. It will lose sight of it about 19:59:11 just above the horizon. Magnitude -3.9.
In the point 2 it started to see the ISS from SW at about 19:55:05 (7:55 p.m.). It will travel from NW to the ESE, and reach the highest point of 69° at 19:58:23. It will lose sight of it about 19:59:11 just above the horizon. Magnitude -3.9.
Today I looked for a different place, 500 meters from home, on a bend in the road. I also looked for a new partner, Picarax. New for me, since he already has some ISS before I started this WM thing. I was worried about the new change in the appearance of the satellite, since I was used to having French partners because it comes from the southwest, this satellite came from the northwest. I remembered a geocacher over a thousand kilometers away and called him. And He accepted.
I was worried because the day before I had another satellite in the same direction and I didn't arrive on time.
Dusk was peeking out with some clouds. And the satellite began to be seen at the established time. Then it got brighter at 19:56, but in half a minute it alternated with some clouds that made me stop seeing it early. Picarax also saw it, and even sent me a video, which with the noise of the water from the fountain next to him, made the situation hypnotic.
The ISS took 1 minute and 40 seconds, covering bit less than 580 km.
Thank you Picarax for being my partner.
