IF you're looking south, why is there N and NE on there? I'm a tad confused?

Was it that very bright thing going almost directly overhead? From West to East?

Crystal clear sighting here in Brighton tonight.

I gave them a wave as they went over.

You are getting better at this capture lark! Nice blacks tonight

What's with the wiggly line bit at the bottom?

Radiation · 12 Aug 2007 at 22:45

Seen only a few meteors but they were quite bright, going to look again later, the iss was good but thursday was especially cool seeing the shuttle chasing after it, its good how they go almost directly above as well. :cool:
