Try this tracker that Eddie51 posted last night which is much better than the one I had.

6 55pm and the Spacestation is coming across south America. Hard to believe it will be over here in less than 25mins.

this is a stupid question, but is it discernible to all, i mean not sure what i saw last evening, but it was incredibly bright, so wasn't sure if it was a distant planet, not up on my astronomy these days.

When I put up the time stated that is the time that it will come over. It is always exact time stated. It is very very bright and just glides across the sky . The 3 minute sighting tonight should be good if skies are clear.

Should have added it does not look like a distant planet .It looks like the largest planet but only difference it moves. Hope this helps.
