It always approaches from the west. Then departs on this occasion SSE.

You can't miss it if you have a clear skies, even in urban areas.

Some bright passes starting again this week 12th February onwards :cool: Would have said look out for the Progress mission 50P / M-18M which launched yesterday (11-02-2013) but it's docked with ISS around 6 hours after launch :shock:
