And this is how it looks like in the dark, in passes when it is dark 
outside,
but when ISS is still 'flying' in sunligth: you hear & see ISS on your THD7 
!

(best seen in HD, as ISS is a bright, yet tiny little dot moving in the sky)

Well, the easiest and best is the ISS.  Your normal terrestrial APRS
settings should work just fine. 

Just listen on 145.825 during mid-day in the Northern Hemisphere and you
can't miss it.  I hear it every day.  Of  course it is moving earlier about
20 minutes a day, so use your tracking program to give you exact times.
