Funnily enough, I spotted one last night while I was sitting in the garden , I often spot them while I'm out shooting,  but it was a rare treat to spot one from home.

Hi Mel.

Hope you & Lin are both well.

Last night there was 30 or 40, equidistant from one another, very bright, very fast and all headed in the same direction.

Worth a look tonight.

Keep well.

Thanks. How do you get the coordinates from Google maps? 

Open google maps.

Enter where you are.

Click on somewhere close.

Right click and it says Whats here? click that - up pops lat & long.

For AVB Towers (St Albans ish) this 51°45'22.1"N 0°20'22.3"W is close enough?

Enjoy :tiphat:

Cheers i’ll Give it a try. Apparently around 9:23 tonight.

we used to look out for the International Space Station when Tim Peak was on it. We were at my MIL’s place in Portugal one evening when my wife shouted for me to come out and have a look at it. Which I did and walked straight into the swimming pool! I lost the appetite for it after that.

yep just been out with bino's-clearly visible with naked eye passing west to east and very bright through the binos'.saw about 7 in succession-all on same path.

apparently he wants to speed up the internet as well as sell some info to the military,companies etc.

not really sure about his plan to control the internet from space-might have to line my flat cap with tin foil to stop him reading my mind.

Saw 3 but we had a big line of cloud they went straight into. 

Tomorrow night @10.35 should be more, fingers crossed - no cloud 🤞
