Definitely worth looking outside tomorrow night for the alignment of Jupiter and Saturn!

This is going to be useful! My friend and I are interested in taking a picture of the ISS passing before the moon.

My go-to resource since it started in 2001 is the Clear Sky Clock, put together by Atilla Danko from Environment Canada data. It covers Canada, the US, northern Mexico and the Bahamas.

Looks interesting, but not a simple install.
