    It was unbelievable mate, the sky was an array of different colours, there were millions of unicorns all across the night sky followed by a line of satellites offering free sports and porn for life for every person that spotted them...you didn’t miss much to be honest.

    The moon is the largest object, Venus to the right and the space station is the dot between and below them. Pity the picture didn't do it justice!

    Thanks for that .... just saw your post in time and went outside.
    Saw it this time, a few clouds but not enough to spoil the view. Had my binoculars on it.
    Amazing to see that by the time I came to log on here according to the tracker it was already over north Africa !
    Also amazing to see from the tracker that when I/we saw it it was over the Channel south of Cornwall. It looked like it was over the next village not hundreds of miles away.

    It's up again in 15 mins, it will pass to the left of the moon, opposite side to Venus which is still visible. 8.46pm

    It is visible just above Uranus, if your telescope will extend that far. I'm afraid my facilities here are somewhat lacking to reach it.

    Apologies, I see you've already given them. I've never been very good at reading stuff.

    Just been outside, no moon! Too built up round here, so I'm guessing the moon is below the horizon of the buildings. Light pollution not very helpful either.
