It's not terribly cloudy where I live. I'm not so foolish to think I could see something behind the cloud bank. I'm simply saying I've never managed to see it at an announced passing. I don't care what conclusions you deduce from that. Ichi also said he failed to sight it on occasion.
Ichi also said that he'd made detailed observations of it using the equipment he mentioned, but went very quiet very quickly when he realised that I understand telescope magnification and guidance very well indeed and had spotted he was talking out of his arse. So sorry "Ichi agrees with me" doesn't increase your believability one iota.
Since we know you deny the existence of refraction in air, and therefore we can conclude your grasp of science is poor, we can reasonably assume that your failure to observe the ISS is more likely to be from looking in the wrong direction than the ISS not being there. There is more than one conclusion that can be drawn from you failing to see the ISS, and it not being where it should is, unfortunately, way down the list
Oh really? What about the specs goes against my observations? I gave you everything yet all you did was admit I could view it.
See the word in red. You claimed you had seen it in good detail and drawn conclusions about its appearance. I said that you could have seen it for a couple of seconds at most, if you were lucky. I'm not going to deny that you
could have seen it with your equipment, because you could. However, making an observation detailed enough to make the statements you did regarding its appearance would frankly have been impossible. Just as I can hand hold a telescope to look at Jupiter with 300x magnification, yes I CAN see it if I'm careful but I could not make accurate conclusions about the appearance of the planet's clouds etc.
Personally I don't believe you saw it with your telescope at all, but I'm not going to deny that it's possible, because it is - just about. But not to make the conclusions you made.
