Whoo hoo! I can't even count the number of times I've seen the ISS fly overhead but this is the first time I was able to coordinate with another waymarker. As viewed from OKC the ISS traveled from west to southeast through a clear sky (a nice bright magnitude -2.7, easily outshining Venus in the western sky, and peaking at 45 degrees at 21:05:35), finally vanishing into the Earth's shadow in the southeastern sky. 8Nuts Mothergoose was my partner on this one, in S. Padre Island, TX - 580 miles or a bit less than two minutes of ISS flight time away. His peak altitude was 49 degrees at 21:07:29. Our mutual friend Benchmark Blasterz also saw this pass (from north Texas) but was too close to both of us to log a new waymark.
