For anybody struggling to see it…
Tonight…7.26pm…visible for 4 minutes…maximum height 69 degrees…coming from due west and heading ESE…So…look towards the west (where the sun goes down). To work out the elevation… the horizon is 0 degrees and directly overhead is 90 degrees. Tonight’s is 69 degrees so quite high up, will be nearly overhead. It will move in the direction of east south east.
It’s a single unblinking white light, there are no other lights, flashing, coloured or otherwise. It’s silent, it moves quite quickly. You also need clear skies, you won’t see anything if it’s cloudy!
You do realise that you have to put down your glass of red wine and go outside Morty, don’t you…:-D:-D:-D

It also appears to zig-zag very slightly. Still don’t know why that is.
Right … I’m taking all these tips and advice onboard … thanks everyone.
I just hope it’s not cloudy tonight.

I do believe I can spot little bits of blue sky coming between the clouds now.
