Good sightings of the International Space Station on Friday and Sat. evenings over much of the East.

We’re likely to have good sightings of the International Space Station on Friday and Saturday evenings in the vicinity of Washington DC. Monday looks good too.

The secret is the azimuth – it’s way up above the tree line.

Washington PA, I don’t know. Let's check Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh will be good tonight and definitely Monday.

You can check Washington PA too. Or Rocky Mount VA. Or....

It gives you a list of upcoming dates and times when the ISS is visible from your location, along with the azimuth (height above the horizon) and a compass-like dial showing the path it will take across the sky at your location. You can set an alarm to remind you to go outside to look.

There's another app called ISS Detector for both Apple and Android, but I haven't used that one.
