Default ISS in daylight - predictions?


I doubt if the station will ever become a true daylight object...ie
visible in a clear sky at all elevations no matter what the sun
angle . However it certainly seems to be bright enough to be seen at
high elevations with the sun at or very near the horizon.

The easiest way to predict all passes is to use Calsky.com and select
the "invisible passes " option.

I have been experimenting for some time now with telescopic imaging in
daylight , using Calsky predictions....the results can be seen here :

Can anyone tell me if there is a site somewhere which can give pass details,
similar to those on Heavens Above which seem only to be for nighttime
passes, but for daytime as well?


Hello Albert,

Why not download something like Satscape the freeware satellite tracking
software which can be found he
