It was a pretty good pass, the ISS being visible almost from the west horizon to the southeast horizon.

We use the filter function to display only the ISS, since those are usually the most dramatic flyovers. <\/p>\n<p>The remarkable thing about the photo is that I candidly snapped the flyover using my less-than-optimum pocket camera, a Canon PowerShot A1400, and got this relatively good image of the ISS as it passed high over the parapets of our little house.
