I just saw it for the first time! Amazing stuff! I thought it'd be hard to spot but it was one of the brightest things in the sky. It was really motoring along too.

HAH! Got it right! YAY!

Fothsn · 11 Aug 2007 at 22:35

Best I can manage, this was the other night btw when it was nice and clear Ive got a much much larger lens to try but I can’t take anymore pics because of all the cloud over the past couple of days

Edit/ I dont think the above is the correct image!

Looks on his memorycard for the ISS photo

.

Oh and that's a superb shot again Concorde!

Didn't see the one at 11 for some reason :confused:

dunker · 11 Aug 2007 at 23:33

i just saw it

it was about as bright as that really bright planet? that's really low down. it appeared near that low star? that kind of blinks red,green,blue it only lasted about 50secs then it just got dimmer and dimmer to nothing over about 10secs. woohoo i've seen the ISS

Fuzz · 11 Aug 2007 at 23:41

Will be looking out for the meteors Sunday eve but don't know what time is best.
