go to www.heavens-above.com
click "Selecting from our huge database"
click the name of your country
enter the name of your town - and it has some pretty small towns!
click on the one you want - Or you can always enter a nearby town, and then click "neighbors" to see if there is a closer one.

Now you're at the page where you can see all kinds of things to see.

The second bullet mentions the ISS, Mir and HST (whatever that is). Click "Mir."

It will tell you the date, the magnitude (brightness) of the station, the time you can first see it, the altitude in degrees it will be above the horizon, the compass direction (azimuth). Then the time, degrees and direction it will be at is maximum alititude. Then the time degrees and direction that it will disappear from view when it goes into the earth's shadow. Clicking "next" will get you the next set of passes it will make.

Enjoy!

That's "Hubble", I think. ;-)

Sorry about the eyes. It was Grady - he made me do it.

Um... yeah, that's it. I guess I could have just clicked on it to see what it told me.
