Hope astronomical event is on-topic for this subforum.

ISS flyby over Singapore on Fri 6 July 2012 from 7:42pm - 7:48pm (above 10 degrees elevation).

I have created this video with detail timings which may be useful for planning your photography/videography shoot.

Such rare confluence of favourable ISS viewing and photography opportunity doesn't happen very frequently in a year. Do check out the satellite imaging guru Thierry Legault's website for more info (Thierry Legault - Astrophotography).

For those without access to a telescope, perhaps can try long exposure "star trail" type of photography to shoot the path of ISS across the sky.

Good luck and clear skies!
 

Is tonight! Good luck spotting it and clear skies!
