I saw the ISS(International Space Station) tonight. It didn't look like much; just a glowing dot in the sky. If it wasn't moving very fast I might have been able to use my telescope to get a better peek at it. Has anyone seen it accuritely and in person?

How long has it been up for? Last year on my white-water rafting trip I saw a spacestation every night, but it might have been a different one.
I saw it, was moving pretty fast. So fast, I couldn't get my telescope focesed(sp?) on it.
I have never been out at night just to look at the stars... I guess i dont know what im missing out on....
Maybe i should do that one night...
Not me, I've just seen it in pictures. You've seen it more "in person" than I have, slothman.
Well in the city you can see much but sometimes you can see it breifly, it looks cool, and it moves very fast sometimes.
I don't get out much at night. Mosquitoes tend to think I'm good eatin'...
I've only seen it in a magazine! not from eye point!
Actually I'm on it right now. I thought I saw looking up here, slothman.
