Default Spotting the Space Station

Saw the International Space Station last night for the first time. It
rose in the north western sky right on schedule at 6:54 PM. It was
the brightest thing in the sky at that time and very easy to spot. I
tracked it with 12x stabilized binoculars hoping that I could see some
detail but not quite. You could tell that it was quite large however
and moving incredibly fast against the backdrop of distant stars. The
whole passage from horizon to horizon took only 4 minutes and passed
almost directly overhead. NASA has a good tracking site he
