Often seen it going over, as have many people.

Some people have taken blurry photos with ground based telescopes, but with
an ordinary camera, all you are likely to get is a spot of light or a trail.

Only trouble with Sweden is that it will never go right overhead as it does
here in Southern England.

IIRC there was an article in _Sky&Telescope_ several years back which
showed ground-based photos of it, and explained how they were taken.
I think they had a 14 or 16 inch SC on one of those very good, very
expensive German equatorial mounts. Granted you could not count the
rivets, but I thought it was a pretty impressive feat anyway.

Russell

It passes over New York every so often. Get your looks now! The
way the US space program is going, ISS now end up being a deep sea
habitat in a few years.
