Lake Arcadia's 33rd St.entrance was where we viewed the ISS pass this morning. It's close to town yet away from the city lights, and the skies were perfectly clear.
The distance between Stoney Creek, Ontario Canada and Edmond, OK USA is 1,078 miles.
The start time for the Edmond pass was 6:07:06, with the max altitude of 65°, -3.6 mag at 6:07:06 (same as the start time). The total viewing time was about 3 minutes, with the station going below our field of sight just after 6:10.
The start time for Stoney Creek (Eastdale Park) was only 48 seconds after Edmond's start time, at 7:07:54, with a max altitude of 74° and -3.9 mag at 7:11:09. Unfortunately my partner Bon Echo was not able to view the ISS pass due to the skies completely clouded over.
About one minute before the station passed overhead we saw a shooting star. At approximately 6:06:40 we watched a satellite from the south head towards the NE.
Also visible in the sky: Sirius, Orion, Big Dipper, Cassiopeia, and a Waning Gibbous moon.
