Anyone want to see a space station?

[Pevenseagull]

I've just watched the launch and the docking.
I'm totally and completely in awe of how clever and brave these people are.
If everyone were at my level of intelligence we wouldn't have evolved past eating dead squirrel from scalloped out bits of tree.

That was the brightest I've ever seen the I.S.S.
Nice and clear.

Should be able to see the SpaceX rocket tomorrow night if the skies are clear. The spaceX craft will pass over the UK from a westerly direction and will head east maybe low in the sky. " This will be approximately 15-20 minutes after launch thats about 21:50 ( ish) reported on meteorwatch.org

Can't wait for this tonight. Bloody love Elon Musk, he is very much an innovater and forward thinker. We need more people like him in the world. He invests his wealth in science and positive science to boot. Legend.

I've set timers and kept tabs open to track the Space X and ISS.

That's sweet, although cloud has developed here, so unlikely to see it which I'm gutted about.

Same location, thick cloud, gutted.

After days and nights of clear skies

Cloudy?... nice bright sky in Woodingdean. I thought it would be too light but that was pretty impressive

who else on here might have an interest in photography and the night sky and knows both subjects well?

Just flew over BN2 - great view, and believe it or not I saw a small satellite going north over the Amex(true observation honest)


Go on who will be the first

Yes - on my website it didn't mention the 9.22 one !
