Directions are compass points; heights are degrees above the horizon (90° is overhead). Passes above about 40° are the easiest to see.
How to spot the space station
The ISS looks like a bright, steady star moving across the sky in a few minutes. It does not blink, which tells it apart from aircraft. Be outside a couple of minutes early and look towards the direction where it appears. It may fade out before reaching the horizon as it enters Earth's shadow.
Predictions use the SGP4 orbit model with elements from CelesTrak (epoch 14 Nov 04:10 UTC). Times can shift by a minute or more after the station adjusts its orbit, so check again on the day. Sources and methods.
