Sighting tonight is at 6 42 pm only 1 minute S departing SSE

Not very clear here in Leicestershire but might clear as it darkens.

Never tried looking for this wendilla - the highest magnification I've got is my 18x50 stabilised binocs - would I see much/anything.

Thanks

You don't need binoculars it is very bright when skies are clear

[pusskin]

I can see it very clear without binoculars dave. Never used them for the space station, much easier to see without them x (Essex)

[sunny-dave]

Thanks - I'll have a look next time it's clear here

[wendilla]

If you look a tvenus or Jupiter it is as bright as that and just glides across the sky . It DOES NOT BLINK so you know it is not an aeroplane.

[pusskin]

As always, many thanks Wendilla x (hope the sky is clear tonight)

It is the brightest thing in the night sky and it travels............in the direction specified............really quite fast. No need for any magnification = it's amazing.

The angle it is coming over tonight I would think only the midlands and south of there will see it . Check the tracker as it comes over.
