After seeing ISS in shadow, I wondered about seeing it in daylight. 
Since Venus is visible, I figured ISS should be too.
Problem is lack of stars to pinpoint a location.

Predictions for this evening had ISS directly overhead. That seemed 
simple enough and 10 minutes Before sunset I easily saw ISS through 8x56 
binoculars.

Any one else spot ISS during the day with hand-held equipment?
