Watching the ISS on an evening with few clouds

[badgermind]

This evening we had an unusually clear sky in Stromness, so following one of the regular reminders from Colin the Mathmo I walked down towards the Ness to see if I could see the 17:37 flyover of the International Space Station. Once it had disappeared I carried on as far as the George Mackay Brown memorial garden, with a clear view of Mars, Jupiter, and a waxing crescent moon above Hoy.
