Nice International Space Station viewing site
Found this nice little site that will tell you when the International Space Station (ISS) has its best pass over your location. Enter your location, and it gives you info, including brightness, so you can pick an evening when it's brighter than normal. There are other sites, but I like this one the best, at least for the ISS.
Use along with this site that gives some helpful beginners' tips (like it goes west to east, and 10 degrees is about the size of a fist at arm's length). I am SOOOO looking forward to my Christmas/birthday present of an iPad - the astronomy apps on an iPod don't work really well; the screen is just too small. Enjoy!
