Cloudy here in the midlands. Progress cargo ship returning from ISS well on it's way down to explode over the Pacific. Sighting in front of ISS at 9 05pm. Only a few more sightings this week before it changes course for a few weeks.

wendilla - do you have any info on the supernova that is due to show?? When, where, will it be visble....?

Thanks

too cloudy here at the moment

As far as I know it should be visible with a good set of Binoculars during the next 10 days.

Progress cargo ship is due to explode over the Pacific? Is this supposed to happen?

[boxtops]

A lovely view in the end - I missed the cargo ship but the ISS looked good. It's a lovely starry night out there now!

Yes JB, it's their rubbish bin, as I understand it!

What you mean to say that Biffa do not do a collection from the ISS? That is not much of a service then is it? What do we pay our council tax for?

..I guess they don't separate out their plastics, either!

It was lovely and starry at 9 05 when I went ouut to look for the progress but didn't spot it then it a short space of time it clouded over before 9 24pm.
