Please keep posting sightings of celestial objects!!Watching the ISS go over was so neat!I passed it on to lots of friends but I don't think they got good viewing nights. Even though I had a light cloud cover it was bright enough to show through without any doubt as to what it was! Thanks. I'll keep my eye on your blog regularly. Thanks again.

I love the skies and really appreciated your alert to the ISS sighting. Watched it last night and was thrilled. Passed along the news at work to others who were not aware.Thanks!
