    Just putting the bins out and there it was, just a bright light as we did not have any glasses etc to view its detail, about 30-40 deg angle when we saw it.

    We did see it some years ago in daylight and could then just make out a crude outline of the structure by eye.

    Hope they do not get the Virus up there !!! anyone due up soon ?

                Well,
                something is normal. The International Space Station flew over me , precisely on time at 9.53pm just now.
                I waved to the crew and thought of you @ARMANDII ...♡♡♡

                  I used to use Heavens Above (need to put your location / Lat+Long in) for ISS but more for Iridium Flares which it was always entertaining to get the kids to look out for. "It's going to be RIGHT THERE in 10 seconds" and then ... as if by magic ... :) Particularly the very bright ones ...

                  But I can't see Iridium Flares on there at all now :(

                  ... but the latest thing seems to be the Starlink passes

                    Clearly I should have been aware that there was a launch on 15th and earlier tonight was the time to see them :(
