Can you see the Space Station?

If anyone is interested trying to see the International Space Station or even possibly the Shuttle at the moment, if you go to
www.heavens-above.com and enter your location you can find whether it might be possible to see either the Space Station, Shuttle or anything else of interest from your home.

Our next window when we could possibly see the Space Station is the 11th August but it's at 4.09 in the morning so don't think I'll see it this time.

If you can work out the direction it should be coming from (in our case it's West to East so passes almost directly over our west facing garden, and it's the brightest thing that flies over. We have been lucky enough in the past to see the Station followed by the Shuttle shortly before they docked a couple of years ago.
