Details:
I subscribed to backyard alerts, got the notification hours before the space station was to pass over head, and another just minutes before. I was able to pull out my iPhone and snap these pictures (5 second exposures). There is no way you could miss seeing the Chinese space station flyby, it was almost as bright as Venus that had just set at one point during the flyby. Pretty cool as Tiangong flew pass the milky way heading East. 10:28pm PDT.
