Default ISS visible pass

ISS made a nice visible pass this evening, before entering eclipse at about
11:52 PM CDT. I just missed the earlier pass (more favorable for my
location)

I would estimate about a magnitude 1 or 2 (brighter than Mars, less than
Venus).
It will be interesting to see if this changes as new solar array is
unfurled and then allowed to rotate toward sun.
Did not see any flash, more like a "double twinkle" at eclipse line
