Good "heads-up", Daniel (get it?) I noticed your post had a couple different details than the one that auto-posted from the Heavens Above website to my Yahoo Calendar about this pass. After checking the website, I believe the max height will be 71 degrees above the horizon, not 87 (still quite good though, and the best evening pass in this series.) And I think the ground track chart in your post is for the pass tomorrow morning around 6AM (and the times shown on the chart are UTC (Greenwich) time zone, 6hrs later that La Manz time.) Here is the ground track for the great pass tonight (with time hacks in 24-hour formatted La Manz time). It looks like it might go directly over Puerto Vallarta: And here is the "sky track" chart showing the ISS will pass through Orion, not too far from Jupiter, then through Gemini, finally grazing the Big Dipper: Go check it out tonight stating at 8:13PM!
