There is a site ,“ISS Tracker”, which will give you the position of the ISS based on a city closest to you. ISS is in a pretty low orbit so it looks like a plane with its landing lights on compared to other satellite’s. My wife worked at Kennedy Space Center launching the shuttles which carried the various ISS sections which were then assembled in space. Sure do miss those shuttle flights……..

Probably not the ISS. There was no passing of the ISS at your location at the time the photograph was taken.

Thanks for looking Bob. Appreciate your comment. I'll attempt to gather more info to have a better chance of catching a photo of it.

Too bad that when you open the image at maximum size the top part has an add plastered on top. This is not your problem, but UHH just trying to pay the bills.

Thanks for looking and for your comment.

I've seen the ISS dozens of times. About as bright as Venus (so very bright), with a very slight gold tinge, moving about as fast as the second hand on a clock.
You can find when its visible at your location from various web sites. Among the different days and times offered, look for times at night, where the maximum degrees are large numbers. This means it will get high in the sky and not merely skim the horizon.

The space station is bright and easily seen. I have only had 3 or 4 notification this year

Yes, the ISS is very bright. It does take about 90 minutes per orbit, but that second time wouldn't be over you if the first one was. The various satellite trackers will tell you what day and time to look, where they will appear and disappear as well as how long you will have the opportunity to view whatever satellite you choose.
