8nuts invited me to join a group of waymarker for this pass and I gladly joined even if I didn't know how to use the heaven-above app or how to recognize the ISS in the sky.
Went outside my appartment around 2345 and was lucky to have a mostly clear sky so I was able to see most of the pass. Thanks for the experience.
These numbers were taken 30 minutes before the pass started:
1-Donna, Texas, (8Nuts MotherGoose): 21:46:37, 71º -3.9 Bright
2-Reston, Virginia (flyingmoose): 22:52:21, 66º -3.4 Bright
3-Halifax, Novia Scotia (Lynx Humble-myself): 23:55:31, 59º -3.2 Bright
4-Tours, France (Alfouine): July 14, 05:07:12, 73º -3.9 Bright (clouded out)
