He explained how tracking the ISS involves using dedicated tools like the Transit Finder website, which predicts when and where the station will pass over a specific location, along with the duration of its transit. These predictions are based on satellite tracking data, and the site provides detailed maps and timelines for ready reference. However, practical challenges remain: the ISS's transit is often quick and narrow, necessitating long focal length optics, coordinated timing, and ideal weather conditions—components highly variable, especially in the creator’s location in the UK, known for unreliable weather.
