You will need to recalculate for other locations.

Were you looking for it when it eclipsed the eclipse you were observing from Turkey?

I was to stressed out worrying about the weather to know it was making a pass. We got to Turkey and the first day it was Sunny. Then 3 days of cold rainy weather. But Istanbul was fantastic even with some rain.
We flew to Antalya and it was Sunny, but would it last with two days to go. It did, Eclipse day perfect sunny weather.
Next day it rained.
I am planning on China for 2009.
6 Minutes of darkness.
I saw this same eclipse in Baja in 1991.

I followed the link and recalculated for my location. I will take a look for the ISS tomorrow night if the sky is clear.
I suppose the ISS could not be seen in an eclipse. Glad the weather cooperated after such a long journey to observe it.

I saw two bright satellites pass over within 5 minutes of each other, and earlier than expected from the NASA calculator... my guess is that the second one was the ISS...
