Thank you honey, but now I’m even more confused, because it says on that long list that tomorrow at 11.19 it is either West or East?
I am still trying to fathom out if it will be West or East, and now you tell me to look South?
Mups if you face South, the Space Station will pass across the sky from West to East, that is it will cross from your right side to your left side, as the angle is high it will do this almost overhead. So face South and watch the bright white light go from the West to the East.
Thank you both of you, I will hope for a clear sky and look again tomorrow night. Sorry to seem to thick.
An extra special sighting tonight as the sky was clear bar the odd small cloud. Dead on time the ISS appeared overhead with continuing flashes of lightening lighting up the sky and making it look like something out of a space film
YEY, I SAW IT AT LAST!.

I thought it was asn aeroplane at first, but the time was just right and it went from West to East like you said.
Then an aeroplane passed by the other way and I could see the difference, with the plane having a flashing light underneath and not as bright either.
Thank you Dongles and DW.
I’m so pleased you’ve seen it at last Mups
I saw the plane passing in the opposite direction too.
Thanks Mags.
I am going to try again tomorrow night now, too.
That is excellent another one crossed off the list!
I must be the only person on the planet who hasn’t seen it now. Feel a serious grump coming on! Will have to take evasive action - going in search of tea and toast!!:-D:-D
Ahhh ST
I only saw it the first time a year
Once you do see it and you know what it is you are looking for, its easy to spot on the days and times its visible to the naked eye
I used to think a great big satellite was it
Im sure Colin will keep posting the dates on here
Yes i will put the times up for the current batch and I am sure for future sighting if I don’t then Gill (nicol) will do…
Excellent! Glad you saw it Mups.
Our weather is so weird isn’t it. Cloudy here last night followed by a mega storm.
Some fantastic bright sightings this Eve ing if the weather plays nice…

Yipee! Finally - I have seen it! The sky is so clear tonight and there is a very bright moon.
