Anybody going Meteor spotting tonight?

But it's still all fluffy up our way...

it's ok as long as you don't look directly at one... if you do, you have to break the magic curse by catching the next one, putting in your pocket and saving it for a rainy day... although details beyond that are sketchy.

Its dark out there, im looking but i think it too cloudy down here in the Garden of England.

might be the same up here... in spite of clear skies forecast, there's plenty of clouds rolling past.

What a shame, i was looking forward to seeing this. Didn't have a clue before i spotted this thread today. Hope you will post more opportunities to see some stars only you will have to tell me what im looking at

Clear this side o'Pennines sofar. Hopefully when it gets darker, I'll see something this time. Too much cloud the last time

I saw one ! I saw one !

 

[The Jogger]

Just seen the ISS go over.

 

[MontyVeda]

just seen another big bank of cloud... I'm sure it's not the same one as an hour ago, which is something i suppose... anybody else been forced into intermittent cloud spotting tonight?



on the upside, the current debate on R4 is fascinating.

 

[Maz]

I'm going out now to have a look...Comet the hour, Comet the man...

Odd light in the general direction given, vertical movement of @3 degrees with no lateral movement! Anyone else see it? 15-17 (approx) degrees from the horizontal when viewing.
Still clear skies this side o'Pennines, sofar.
