How to read this: Max elevation is how high the ISS will climb above your horizon — anything above 40° is easy to spot with the naked eye. Duration is how long the pass lasts. Direction tells you where to look as it rises and where it sets. Times are shown in your local time zone. Excellent passes are bright enough to see even in light-polluted skies.
