At the moment for those who read my earlier post the spacestation at this moment is passing over New Zealand and will be over the uk at 9 46 pm tonight. Hows that for travel time.
I've just che3cked the cloud and we have a clear sky! I've told all the family and they seem to be as interested as me, though they can sometinmes sound like they are tolerating my enthusiasm lol
Thanks wendilla its a clear night tonight, i'll look out but I'll have to decide back or front of the house left or right. I'm hopeless with directions. as long as it's upwards eh. lol
Last night I was watching towards the south west and couldn;t see anything, there were several bright stars, but then one of them suddenly seemed to be moving and I realised that it was the station, last month it glowed amber but last night it was silver, very different effect.
PS the tracker seems to be working OK again, the station looks to be nearing the coast of Chile at the moment. Yesterday it seemed to get stuck over Kamchatka, every time I looked at the chart, it was still up in that corner!
You might see it far to the north NoM, but its path doesn't look to be going near Spain at all at the moment, loops up over the Atlantic then back down the middle east.
No mercy go to space weather .com and you will see a link for sightings put your nearest city in and you may get the times if it passes that way I dont know but I will try and find out for you and let you know tomorrow.
