Guys, tonight will be an even better opportunity to see it than 2 days ago. Make sure you don't miss it!
It'll be passing from West to East at approximately 9:32PM for 6 minutes. Check your local viewing time on the link provided by the OP. I'm getting my telescope out

Managed to catch a few glimpses of it. Not as good as the 14th.

Love watching it, also love trying to see daytime iridium flares, seen 2 so far and about 4 flares at night, always spectacular!

There's a ton of discussion about this sort of thing in the Astronomy thread, but you'd probably be better off with bins for that. I think Celestron do a good 15x70 pair for £60, but you'd really want some way to mount them as they would be too shaky by hand.

I had a similar issue using the NASA iPhone app. It seems to give times as five minuets too early.
