I'd be interested to know what the relationship is between the elevation of  
the pass and the sun separation and angle for true daylight passes.
 
John --
 
For last night's pass, the ISS reached a maximum altitude locally of  
83-degrees (for NYC).  
The Sun was only one degree above the horizon, so admittedly, modest by the  
standards
of calling this a "daylight" pass . . . but still readily seen  nonetheless!
