For some reason, I didn’t see it last night. I’ve seen it many times, so I know what to look for. I must have got my time wrong.

Thanks.

The ISS was obscured by buildings until about 9:04, when I took my first shot.

Didn't think it was possible to see it here with all the light pollution. Maybe I'll look for it now.

There's another chance to see it tonight, but it won't be as high up. The one tomorrow night, August 1, is much better.

I can't figure how I missed it Saturday. It was really bright Sunday. You couldn't miss it if you tried.
