Wouldn't be no good anyway.

I need something with legs to keep the grubs off me otherwise I'd do just do the lawn with a towel.

Just went out to look at the ISS as the cloud has cleared was nice and bright and saw two meteors also.

Cheers, Frust

Not sure how long I'll be up as feeling a bit tired but I might be still around at about 2am.

Oooh, I went out earlier but couldn't see anything. It's nice and clear though so might have to wait up!

!>Y\e5l-%h-NMw>cH · #38 14th August 2013, 00:57

Cloudy here with broken patches.

Do one, clouds.

Caribou · #39 14th August 2013, 02:17

Still too cloudy here

!>Y\e5l-%h-NMw>cH · #40 14th August 2013, 02:26

Bugger all going down here even with some clear sky.

!>Y\e5l-%h-NMw>cH · #41 14th August 2013, 02:36

Spoke too soon

!>Y\e5l-%h-NMw>cH · #42 14th August 2013, 03:50

Saw 4 then decided to call it a night when something flew in my ear and scared me to death.

Duke of Prunes · #43 14th August 2013, 04:19

Didn't see anything here, yet again

Too much light pollution in London.

Not where I am there's not (in the middle of nowhere – surrounded by fields in a village that only comes under London for administrative/transport purposes). Normally get a good view of the sky here, which just makes it more annoying!

!>Y\e5l-%h-NMw>cH · #46 14th August 2013, 20:11

I'm gonna be in your boat tonight.

Gotta piss it down all night, ffs.

The Lone Stranger · #47 14th August 2013, 22:39

I couldn`t see any last night but I only looked for about 5 mins. I`ve seen 2 comets but never seen shooting stars.

!>Y\e5l-%h-NMw>cH · #48 14th August 2013, 23:15

Too fing cloudy.

Give me a thunder storm and I'll be happy though.

Caribou · #49 15th August 2013, 01:44

Cloudy here again

It's all your fault, Frusty. Why did you ever have to mention it?

!>Y\e5l-%h-NMw>cH · #50 16th August 2013, 18:59

Lovely clear sky here at the mo and I hope it continues.

You can still see meteors until the 24th but as time goes on they become less and less.

If you want to see the ISS, goes over at 21:22:44 from the W heading ESE ending at 21:29:21 at Mag -3.3, so will be bright.

!>Y\e5l-%h-NMw>cH · #52 16th August 2013, 19:28

Installing ISS Detector for Android.

!>Y\e5l-%h-NMw>cH · #53 16th August 2013, 19:38

Trying to figure this shit out.

clawhammer · #54 16th August 2013, 19:52

^ The ISS will be dead easy to spot tonight, as it'll be brighter than any stars. When I used to see it in the sky I always thought it was a fast moving plane. Just look west at 9:23pm when it appears over the horizon.

If it's cloudy the next good time to see it is 9:22pm on Sunday, for about five minutes, though it'll be slightly less bright than tonight, but still easy to see.

!>Y\e5l-%h-NMw>cH · #55 16th August 2013, 20:09

I've got the app setup now.

Oh, thanks Ozzy. Will have a look. Hope the sky isn't cloudy again

Seen it before, though

Saw it!

It was a bit cloudy and not fully dark but it was bright enough to see through gaps in the clouds

Glad you seen it :-) was a great pass! Very bright

Just waiting for the sky to get a bit darker now and can watch some meteors tonight! Roll on darkness!
