I really enjoy this app as it can pretty much let me know when there will be something I want to see passing overhead. However I have a few questions. 1. Why in the list of nightly events are there hardly ever anything listed between the hours of midnight and 4am. 2. I live outside of our city and once my eyes are accustomed to the dark I can see quite a bit. But even satellites that are given a mag of 1.0 are very hard to see.

In the middle of the night, satellites are in the shadow of the earth.

I'm having a little of a hard time understanding how this works. I used ISS detector and it's seriously easier to understand what's going on and which notifications I will get and which not. This app has a filter for hours... But will I get notified when the satellite is visible or just when it's overhead? Even in daylight? I'm not entirely sure which satellites it will notify either, or they expected magnitude, something the other app shows. I couldn't find a list of future passes. Your website is interesting tough, yet I colun't find info on passes and visibility from my configured location.

Absolutely wonderful, precise tool to see when and where anything in low Earth orbit is passing overhead, from the ISS and other space exploration craft, to Starlink satellites, to decades-old debris like rocket boosters. You can filter by minimum magnitude, show only visible passes, set parameters for what's defined as "visible" and more. There's a few more tools on their website, but for a free app, this is better than I could ask for.
