The International Space Station is visible again from Fri 15th for the next 10 evenings.
Tonight should be particularly good as it's for 6 minutes

NASA ISS Live Stream - Earth From Space
This one is quite interesting because if 'LIVE NOW' is at the top left it's LIVE. Otherwise, as the Space Station goes into night every 45 mins, the video stream is unavailable. During this time, and other breaks in transmission, recorded footage is shown. When it's back in daylight the live stream should start again.

Let's hope for clear skies - Good Luck!

We're out in the sticks, a long long way from London but our experience was similar to yours- including the Moon being an issue.

I agree that Dragon was very very much fainter and harder to see than ISS - it does sound (from other fora) as if from some parts of the UK a meteor joined the show and may have caused some confusion.

I saw the ISS OK but I couldn't see the Crew Dragon probably because we had light cloud.
However, I did see something that was travelling from South to North.
Do you reckon that was another satellite or a meteor as mentioned above?

I think that may have been the Polar satellite, now defunct.

Dh thought the ISS was the Dragon and I didn't have the heart to tell him.

Tonight will be the last of the current opportunities.
(I didn't post the yesterday's times because I forgot!)

I wouldn't bother with tonight's sighting unless you are on the South coast.
Mon Jun 1, 10:13pm, for 2 min, from the WSW

The next selection of evening viewing opportunities wont be until July.
