  • Space station passes at 4:25, up to 63° high, moving SW → NE. It looks like a bright, steady star that crosses the sky in a few minutes.
  • Moon 33% lit (Waxing Crescent), above the horizon for 27% of the dark hours.
  • Clouds: about 84% effective cover during dark hours, which will hide most things.
