I sighted the ISS only a few minutes ago.  It was right on time and
exhibited the predicted illumination pattern.  I aimed my telescope at it
successfully, but only saw it for two seconds before losing it (I was on
the wrong side of my telescope - don't ask).  I re-acquired the manned
space station, but only as it was going behind a large pine tree in the
north corner of my back yard.  About 30 seconds naked-eye sighting, and 5
sec. eyepiece.
