    That was good watching last night.
    I reckon I may have caught s glimpse....if it wasn't for the * hill right behind my house.


    Do love that it took them less than ten minutes to reach 198/200km going up, but once they settled in they announced it was going to take 19hours to find the ISS.

    Think they'd have aimed the thing a tad closer

    Managed to see comet Neowise while I was down in Devon this weekend. Once in a lifetime opportunity. My camera doesn’t do it justice. Still visible for the next few days if you look towards the NW just after sunset now 54889B4A-E504-422B-9835-CCCC97DA348B.jpeg

    Im back in London now. Weather is clear but my balcony faces south. Might go for a late night wander to spot it again. Won’t be back for another 6000 years

    The comet is now circumpolar which means it never rises or sets and will be visible all night. Happy hunting

    Can't get Night Sky on Android I don't think. I had a Stargazing app but it was bit too childlike and not what I was hoping for so I got rid
