His actual words to me were

I thought you were going to show me something exciting like a shooting star

`At least he knew who Tim Peakes was

Thank you, Nicol.

144

You are most welcome, I’m really glad you finally got to see it :001:

145

Thank you Nicol :smiley:

146

You’re welcome :001:

Happy sky watching :001:

Whatever happened to that comet that was going to be so close we would be able to see it during the day? Did it change it’s mind?

148

It was on its way and then Trump got elected and it thought **** that :shock:

I have not seen the ISS for days, its been cloudy every night, looks like it will be for the foreseeable future as well

149

Not a cloud in the sky this evening so it was a perfect night for viewing :023:

I haven’t read all the postings so this might have already been posted however one site I used to use a lot before Google made a Sky phone app is this one:

https://www.heavens-above.com/

It not only shows the ISS but just about everything else too including satellites. You can set your location so it shows the sky exactly as you see it from your house at any given time including now.

As I say I used to use it a lot but less so now, I am presuming it hasn’t changed too much.

151

Yes, lovely wasn’t it Mags.

152

Thanks for that link Bruce :slight_smile:

153

10:11pm tonight for 6 minutes, hoping to see this one as it is ages since I had a sighting of the thing, then it is back at 11:48pm. I think I have some cloud but hoping i might see it through the cloud.

154

I actually got a good sighting of it tonight, first time in ages, it was higher in the sky than I was expecting


155

Excellent! Glad you got to see it again.

156

It was a little bit light here up North when it passed but still nice to see it

157

No chance of seeing it tonight, too many rain clouds around :frowning:

158

Yes here too Mags

159

How do you know when and where to looknow dongles?
Our chart showing the dates etc ran out last Tuesday, so I thought that was the end of it and we wouldn’t see it any more? :confused:
