If you have basic binoculars and a steady hand you can see the ISS like this (not my pics)

A little bonus tonight for those viewing the eclipse in Brighton and Hove.

9.30 ISS coming over .... and it's an excellent one. 6 minutes duration.

Pretty much West to East and almost (84°) straight over head.

....and then it does much the same at 11:06.

Mars is pretty good at the moment too.

It is, regrettably, likely to be very cloudy tonight, meaning that neither will be visible. I'll give it a try, though.

Beeb saying cloud hit and miss/moving so should get a view of moon, if not space station
