I tried a few days ago to catch a naked-eye glimpse at the ISS, with the data from n2yo website.
Elevation was more than 80°.
I >think< I saw it, but since it was my very first time, I'm not sure about it, as I don't know how it "looks like".
What I saw was a faint (it was 21:30 at night, so not pitch black), very fast little light.
It was not a shooting star as its intensity was consistent all the way.
There were some small clouds so it was kind of discontinuous now-you-see-it-now-you-don't.
My main question is about its speed: is it a question of a few seconds and it's gone, or is it a slower object?
