All I can say is this ISS Pass was the best and here is what Spot the Station said about it Visible: 5 min, Max Height: 64°, Appears: 16° above SSW, Disappears: 19° above NE but Stellarium was helpful. Also, Heavens-Above is still a good resource.

using Stellarium and Heavens Above is still a good combination for visible passes but this opportunity started in the Southwest on the right side of the Young Moon close to Jupiter and Saturn and then it went high into the Summer Triangle going past Deneb before going into the Earth's shadow.

This evening, my brother Anthony, my friends Joe, Steve, Leo & I watched the Anteres Rocket go by the West Haven beach on its way to the ISS from Wollop's Island Virginia. We knew when the first stage dropped off by the bright flash that appeared as the rocket gained altitude. We were then able to watch the rocket go on looking like an orange light in the sky. It as quite an event to see.
