It's easy to see if you know where to look

I use the spot the station website where you can receive emails notifying you when you will be able to view. Not sure about the other sites, but this one gives you the directions of appearing and disappearing, along with how high it will be in the sky.
I shot three images at 2.8 and f100, using a canon 7d mkii and tokina 11-16. I shot these at 2.8 because the sky still had a lot of light due to clouds and not too long after sunset. Three images at 44, 36, & 28 seconds using a wireless remote with camera set to bulb. First image was the longest, but with the settings, I figured I needed to not go but so long, so there was a gap to fill in that middle clear area (I used affinity photo to do that, and I am only just learning that), the other break between images occurred when it was behind some limbs in the tree, so not so noticeable. All other PP was done in LR 6.14 prior to stacking in StarStax and then to affinity for the gap. Cannot figure out stacking in Affinity, but I guess I'll get there one day.

Get the ISS app on you Android or iPhone. It can tell you weeks in advance when it will be over your areas. Place amazing photos from it down to the earth.

I caught it Friday night here in Virginia, it was to be visible for several minutes and I wanted to catch most of the route. I shot three images of up to 44 seconds (I think 44, 36, and 28 seconds) and stacked them using StarStax, total time came to almost a two minute exposure. I used ISO 100 due to the long exposure and didn't want it to over expose, easy to do for up to 44 or so seconds, f2.8. I used a wireless remote with camera on bulb mode and held the shutter open. I did that so I could create a "break" between at least two photos while the ISS was behind a tree. My shot was of the ISS flying through the tree tops. PP in LR 6.14 and then Affinity Photo to fill one gap. Can post it here if you'd like.

Couple years ago at Oshkosh, the ISS passed by just after the night airshow. Neat way to end the evening... lasted only about 10 seconds and it was moving faster than I had expected. It was just like that scene in "October Sky"
