8Nuts MotherGoose observed the ISS reach its Max Altitude at 21:15:24 CDT at 67° to the SE.
bluesnote observed the ISS reach its Max Altitude at 22:21:09 EDT at 64° to the NW.
It took the ISS 5 minutes, 45 seconds to travel the 1725 miles between the two points.
The clouds moved in about 45 minutes before the Pass. I was afraid I would miss it. There were occasional holes and the moon would shine.
I concentrated on the area of Max Altitude. It appeared through a hole in the clouds for about 5 seconds at just a little beyond what I considered Max Altitude. I didn't see it again until it was about 45° to my NE. It remained visible for about 15 seconds before going behind clouds for the rest of the pass.
bluesnote had clear sky and had a better view than I.
