    Can't see it, too many gas clouds around Uranus.

    It's just been visible again, decent night for viewing too. Back round at 9.30

    It was a little too light but still bright in the sky.

    we go to europe every summer and the stargazing is ace,france,germany etc have far less light pollution than here and as we tend to holiday in the sticks or up in the alps the viewing conditions are top notch,i honestly never realised that it was possible to see so many stars and satelites, its wierd but i can gawp upwards for hours when we are on holiday

    Snowdonia is the same, it's a designated stargazing area, a dark sky reserve I think it's classed as

    Cheers mate, but it's too low for me to see it. I'm in a heavily built up area and my my view of the sky is a narrow angle so I'm not seeing the moon at all at the moment.

    Still not seen it yet. Not helped by neighbours security lights blazing into my face.

    Will it be back tonight? If so, is there an idiots guide on where to stand, which direction to face, which direction the ISS comes from, etc?

    Not tonight, tomorrow's the final night at 8.50pm but it's fairly low in the sky, it comes up west/south west and arcs towards the east.
