Looks like the clouds might not ruin the ISS pass tonight!

Starts at 7:32 PM in the west-northwest.  Ends 3 minutes later 
rising up in the western sky.  

It will be heading right through Pegasus - towards Saturn, but will
run out of sunlight before it gets to Saturn.  Should be very 
bright.

Tomorrow's pass will be another good one if the clouds are still 
gone:

Starts at 6:33 PM in the west-northwest, going just above the north
star at 6:37 PM, and then towards the east before disappearing just
before hitting the horizon.  

Also on Friday, at 7:25 PM, if you look on the south-southwest, you 
might see LaCrosse 4.  It will be going towards the north-northast
very close to Saturn and then through the end of the handle for the
big dipper - at which point, it will disappear as well.  

The ISS makes a brief (60 second) encore performance at 8:10 PM, 
in the west, going towards the west-southwest.

A very nice ISS pass occurs on Sunday starting at 6:11 PM in the
west-northwest, going almost overhead at 6:14 PM and then off 
towards Jupiter and off to the East-southeast - disappearing at
6:17 PM.  This is about as long of a pass as you see.  It is 
supposed to be cloudy - but who knows.

Also on Sunday, Lacrosse 4 at 7 PM in the SSW, overhead at 7:05 and
out to the NNE at 7:10.

Sunday ISS encore - 7:48 in the WSW and then 7:50 in the SW.
