2. Hahahaha. Thanks. That's perfect.

I'm sure you can check for Richmond too.

What you're looking for is that azimuth. ISS is visible from DC frequently, but it's usually close to the horizon. Friday evening's sighting in DC is 79 degrees above the horizon at its maximum, making it a snap to view. Saturday evening's sighting is 56 degrees above the horizon at its maximum.

A good sighting in DC might be unremarkable in Richmond, and vv.

3. Good sightings of the International Space Station on Friday and Sat. evenings over much of the East.

We’re likely to have good sightings of the International Space Station on Friday and Saturday evenings in the vicinity of Washington DC. Monday looks good too.

The secret is the azimuth – it’s way up above the tree line.

Washington PA, I don’t know. Let's check Pittsburgh.

Pittsburgh will be good tonight and definitely Monday.

You can check Washington PA too. Or Rocky Mount VA. Or....
