It's supposed to pass back over Florida tonight at 00:18 local, so I might see if the cameras are operating then to see if I can capture a night image of Florida.

It's presently stuck over Sudan in Africa. . . according to the map with the tracking on it. . .  :icon_evil:

Night views are somewhat disappointing though. . .

Yes, unless it passes over a cloudless urban area.  Have the cameras been off ever since before Chicago?

More off than on. . . They come on for a stretch then they crash it would appear. . . Or they're blacking them out for some reason. . .

Yeah that happened a few times last night as well.  I took that to mean that the ISS was possibly over some area where transmission was impossible due to reception stations on the ground, but that shouldn't be the case over mid-America.  Maybe they're having some sort of trouble with it.

Are you getting the image on the top right?  That was the one that was forward facing when I captured Florida.

Nope. It has been down for quite sometime now. . .

The one on the bottom right takes some getting used to, as it is visually moving opposite the orientation shown on the map at top left. Plus you've got ISS in the way on some of it; which is kind of cool but still. . .

I was trying to figure out that orientation as it passed over Florida, but never quite got which way it is facing.

Upside down, north facing I believe. . .  But it seems to be a bit "amid-ship" if you know what I mean. Kind of hard to tell given the 180 degree inversion. . .

Remember that there are 4 cameras that switch in and out as well.
