Thanks John, but the calculation doesn't like my Latitude! (51.46°)

Graeme, rather than typing in your values, use the Auto-detect button and it should work okay.

Cool site, I just bookmarked it. Thanks John.

There is also some software that I discovered that I will be playing with that not only includes the ISS, but any satellite.
It is called SkyTrak. Uses the ASCOM standard so you can actually have your mount track a satellite (I guess with reasonable certainty).
Free 30 day trial after which if you want to use it, it is NINE DOLLARS (cheap). There is also a youtube video which shows all the ins and outs and how to use.
Maybe more than what one actually needs but what the heck. Something else to play with.

Thanks Rob,
I have used its predecessor for a number or years (Satellite Tracker). It seemed to work best with Meade mounts. I will try out this new version and see if there is improved performance.

Cheers and thanks again,
