ISS pass last night
At 9.50 last night an exceptionally bright satellite went practically
over my zenith - Starry Night says it was the ISS - but I've never seen it so bright - blazing through cloud that Vega couldn't begin to penetrate. I've got a short loan of a Celestron 8inch which I was messing about with (quite impressive - Jupiter was lovely.) Setting up was a nightmare with every guide star either behind a cloud or a tree and I got fed up with the cloud covering everything I looked at within 4 secs of finding it so I packed it in. Looked out the bedroom window half an hour later - not a cloud in a crystal clear sky. Bummer. -- Martin Frey http://www.hadastro.org.uk N 51 02 E 0 47 |
