This was a great experience. Staying up all night to ready myself for an ISS tracking session with 2 other Waymarkers across the U.S. First time for me, although I had seen the ISS in the air before. Just not as a Waymark.
Weather was clear, crisp and brisk with temps in the mid-50's.
Start time: 03:47:22 WNW, although I saw it at 03:46:40. Max at 03:50:45 in the NNE at 87º. and outbound ESE 03:54:06 towards Tri-Cites and over the horizon.
Max and 99 confirmed their sighting out of Edmond Oklahoma @ 05:08:00. It took 11 to 14 minutes for the ISS to travel that distance from WA to OK. The skies were partly clouding with breaks.
The distance between Site 1 in Issaquah and Site 2 in Butte was 513 miles (1.75 minutes at 293 miles per minute) and the distance from Site 2 in Butte to Site 3 in Edmond was 1,201 miles (4.10 minutes at 293 miles per minute), for a total distance of 1714 miles traveled.
