'evening astro fans

Not sure how local these are compared to the ISS but there's one due over Brighton at at 22:02hrs which is rated -8 magnitude i.e the brightest possible.

Anyway 47 degrees in the sky, north east direction

Nice and clear at the moment....

f*** me, that was bright

Wasn't it!

I thought it was going to be a bit too cloudy as I could hardly see any stars but it shone right through

 

[Everest]

I noticed it as it started getting brighter, much brighter than the ISS.
