This site will give you the time, elevation, and direction to see the ISS when it goes over your location.
Spot The Station - NASA
The Spot the Station mobile app is an official NASA app that helps users track and receive notifications for International Space Station viewings as it passes over their respective location. It also provides real-time tracking, flyover schedules, and alerts.

My go-to for tracking the Station and other bright satellites is heavens-above dot com. Near the Summer Solstice I could just spot the Station passing north at midnight. At my new latitude I'm just too far south for those shenanigans.This site will give you the time, elevation, and direction to see the ISS when it goes over your location.

Did someone gut a Westfalia for these?
One sweet custom on an International base.
International made the MXT, an alternative Hummvee?

Be difficult to adjust the side view mirrors on the datsun, and even more so on the red jeep

Back in the '60s you'd just have a kid crawl out of the passenger window and adjust'em until you gave the "got it" signal. Wouldn't even have to slow below 60 mph.

Got up to pee yesterday at like 5:15 am and saw the zodiacal light a.k.a. false dawn sending a spike through Leo. Here's a pic showing much more than what I saw ... from Australia.
This is closer to my sighting ... except this is another Southern Hemisphere pic as the asterism near M31 reveals. Note inverted Pleiades just clearing the horizon.
The magic of photon capture ...

A good "wysiwyg" pic

More reflected sunlight from the Ecliptic, and other "fantastic optical beasts and where to find them". The gegenschein (German: counterglow) is a large (10 x 20 degrees of arc) faint patch of less-dark sky directly opposite the Sun's celestial position.
First pic shows it, a "horn" of zodiacal light and the connecting ecliptic band against a Galactic backdrop. I'm guessing the light embedded in the gegenschein is Saturn.
By the inverted stellation around M31, this has to be off of Australia's "Gold Coast". Pleiades on horizon.
Gegenschein and the even more elusive skyglow ... usually illustrated from orbit.
From the ground ...
and from orbit.
Aterrestrial widest-angle fisheye shot showing how grazing angles (like atthe horizon) emphasize natural skyglow.

Atmospheric Phenomena STEVE Not An Aurora, Instead Another Mysterious Event - Science Trends
In July of last year, there was a thin trail of purple light that was witnessed streaking across the sky in northern Canada. The light appeared to stretch for hundreds of miles and it was believed to be a new form of aurora. The phenomenon was dubbed Steve by a group of citizens sky watchers.
