I will be in Alexandra Louisiana Friday.

Will I be able to see it?

When you say -2.5, I always think negative. Maybe that’s right?

Is it visible by the naked eye or must I have 2.5X magnification?

The lower the magnification, the brighter it will appear. You won’t need any binos or scopes to see it.

Just saw it from Caldwell. Only saw it for about 12 to 15 seconds, but it was cool while it lasted. Looking forward to Friday night.

-2.5 is the magnitude. The lower the number (or higher the number with a "-" ahead of it ) the brighter the object.

Nothing to do with magnification.

The ISS is passing almost directly overhead for Houston folks and will be BRIGHT. A magnitude of -3.5 and visible for nearly 6 minutes.

I gotta catch that !!! Thanks!!!

Walked down to the beach and saw it in Galveston last night. It was only visible for a few seconds.
