ISS Transit question

[fish4evr]

I am using https://transit-finder.com/ and SkySafari Plus to try and catch an ISS Transit but am getting conflicting results between the two for a given location. One will say the transit will occur and the other one will show that location will just miss it.

Any thoughts on which one to trust?

I also checked Stellarium but I have to use an older version to get it to work on my computer and it is way off compared to the other two.

I use ISS Detector and it has never been wrong. It's a great app.

Transit finder will be the correct one. If you're looking more than a 3 days into the future, make sure you check again 12 hours or so before the transit to get the most accurate times.

Thanks for the info. As my target event draws closer, the transit info now is more insync. Unfortunately the weather report is not.

I use https://heavens-above.com/ (pc and android)

And I've just noticed there's an ISS magnitude 3.7 flyover here at 1732 this evening, so thanks for that!

Graeme, I too use heavens above, it works great for flyovers. But I was looking more for Transits.
Hope the weather is more cooperative for you.

Have you seen the S&T Satellite Transit Tool:

I just came across it, I haven't used it but I'm certainly going to have a play!

There's an advert for a DSLR on the page. It's a 30.3 Mp, mirrorless astrophotography camera. That looks interesting too!

Cool. Looks like they have a satellite tracker that will show Hubble as well.
