Default ISS about to go over east coast

Hi all
If anyone is interested the International Space Station is about to make a really good pass over the eastern states in a few mins
Mag -3.0, therefore only Venus is brighter now starting at 19:54:00 about 10° above NW then ending about 20:00:23 in the SE.
Cheers
Geoff
