I get a direct overhead pass TONIGHT 2/24, at 5:38 for 6 minutes, maximum brightness!

To see "us" from "there" log onto http://www.briancrain.com/

Now scroll the top banner to the video for the tune "Dream of Dreams" and then "Click to Play".

The composer / pianist I work with wrote the tune. His brother, Rob gathered all of the NASA still photos from the ISS and digitally linked them to create the video.... Awesome!!! (Brian and I perform the song now with his piano and my simple '59 Fender Duo Sonic and a TUBE for big fat sound... Kind of like surf guitar goes to space....... :-). Oops, I digress.....

I need to set my clock for a reminder. Looks like tonight will be good for O'side as well. Thanks Woody.

In 20 min. for San Diego viewers.

Yeah, keep bumpin for the SD crew. I'm packing for Baja right now and hope to remember in 45 minutes to go outside.

If any of you have an iPhone go download Skyview application. You can use that to find the location of the ISS before it rises above the horizon to enable longest possible viewing.

I'm getting conflicting data. Not sure if my location is entered correctly. I thought it was a little after 7PM but now it looks like 6:38PM. I'm talking out loud....gona check my iphone and head outside.

Ateo - 2-25-2013 at 07:35 PM



Vanishing behind full moon.

Bummer....

All overcast here.
Too bad.

tomorrow evening in Yuma looks to be directly overhead at 6:25pm.

Jon, if you have 33ºN and 117ºW as the location, you should be good for Oceanside. Baja Angel and I saw it between 6:28 and 6:32 last night going from north to east, at about 10 o'clock high (45º) above the horizon. I have seen it a few times before... just a bright satellite cruising over-head.
