Haven't been able to see the space station these last five
evenings when it should have been visible from the D.C. area,
according to the web site
http://www.skypub.com/sights/satellites/iss_na.shtml

Light pollution prevents us from seeing anything dimmer than
Castor, Pollux, Betelgeuse and...(consulting weekly star
chart) Jupiter. Should it be at least as bright as any of
these?
