We had four states lined up for this ISS pass: Oklahoma, Kansas, Michigan, and Ohio. Everyone got rained out except Oklahoma, where The Snowdog also watched the pass. Benchmark Blasterz in Texas watched this same pass as well, but the altitude was only 43º at their location.
It was just barely dark enough to see the ISS fly overhead, but the spacecraft appeared much brighter as the minutes ticked by. We first saw it in the SW at 8:06:35, travelled to the SE, and went out of view in the NE at 8:12:02. Our viewing location was at Memorial Road Church of Christ, facing south to watch the ISS appear. The sky was pale with some splashes of color two minutes before the ISS was to come into view, and eventually got dark enough to see the -3.8 mag. pass arch overhead. It was a chilly 54ºF while we watched.
The max time for Edmond, OK was 20:08:19, 80º, -3.8 mag.
The max time for Holland, MI was 21:11:22, 81º, -3.9 mag.
The ISS traveled a distance of 893 miles between Edmond, OK and Holland, MI (3 minutes, 3 seconds X 293 mpm).
