If there is an appropriate sky about 6:15 this evening (Feb 3rd), the  
Space Station makes a nice high pass.  It will be near overhead at  
6:20 p.m. For Avonport it will pass just north of overhead.  Here is  
a link showing its track in our region. http://www.heavens-above.com/ 
gtrack.asp? 
date=39481.9309291491&lat=45.100&lng=-64.250&alt=54&loc=Avonport&TZ=AST& 
satid=25544

03 Feb  click on this for its track in the sky
-2.2     mag (brightness: this is bright)
18:17:44  it will appear shortly after
WSW:    direction it comes from
18:20:32  time of max altitude
68 degrees: altitude of max of track.
NNW:    direction of max alt.
18:22:45   time it disappears
15 degrees: height when it disappears

These details are specific to Avonport, they can be refined a bit  
closer for you, if you choose one of these locations nearest you
