The ISS was visible at my location starting at 5:06:40 am MST coming from WSW reaching a maximum elevation of 52° while traveling to the NE. It was visible for 5:39 minutes and came as close as 267 miles (430 kilometers) at its maximum altitude of 332°. Maximum altitude was at 5:09:28 am. The ISS traveled 369.02 miles NE (60°) [593.8801 kilometers] in 54 seconds from Salt Lake City, UT at maximum altitude time of 05:08:29 am MST to 05:09:25 am MST in Thornton, CO. The magnitude of this orbit was -3.2. (from (

Weather was much kinder than the first ISS I submitted (15° that cold morning in November!). Now that I am experienced with sighting the ISS and submitting the Waymark, this category is really quite fun and much less intimidating than the description sounds. Try this one out folks - I think you will really enjoy it!
