Here's another site that also gives you info on other objects, like the ISS, falling satellites etc that can be seen. You set it up for your coordinates.

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.

Hang tight Sapper. The clouds are breaking up just west of you here in Virginia. We're catching glimpses already, you may see it yet....
