    A splendid clear evening. Observed till 23;20 UT. Then some sleep and
    observing again at 00:50 UT to see 01-30 B, but not seen, due to incoming
    high clouds.
    Did see ISS making a good pass. Picked it up low in the west at 21:58 UT.
    When it reached southwest it was S, mag -2. Then slowly got brighter to
    mag -3, when in the southeast it flared to at least -4. What a sight!

    Lost it after the first flash, due to the still very bright sky.
