Yes, it's around for until 9 November it seems - if you look at http://spaceflight.na...ountry=United+Kingdom and type in your location, you can see the detailed sighting times.
This part of the site also shows you the tracker so you can see the station's trajectory http://spaceflight.na...a/tracking/index.html
I didnt post tonight as the time was 5 59 pm for the sighting and may not have been dark enough but there will be a few good sightings to come over the next few days.

Cheers wendilla, I didn't want to steal your thunder! I missed ISS (though it was dark enough, I just forgot) and I couldn't see Progress either at 621 - but I wasn't sure what I'd be looking for, is it similar in view to the ISS?
not so bright as SS But sky has to be really clear to catch the progress rocket. The shuttle Discovery is doing it's last trip on Wednesday. It should have gone Monday but postponed. Go to Nasa tv for that or check on Spaceweather.com to get imfo daily
If you log in to

you can set your position and it will show position of the ISS and other things for the next week or so.
Hi BOXTOPS meant too add that you are not stealing my thunder lol never heard that expression before. It is nice for anyone to step in and reply. I am not an expert it is just what I have studied on here for the last few years and I started posting this last year and found out that lots of people here in the uk did not know they could see it. Hope the skies get better next week for some good views.
