Thanks wendilla, maybe not tonight but hopefully later in the week!

I'll keep an eye out for the 11 14 one but a fair bit of cloud here this evening.

[wendilla]

Hi boxtops we are nice and clear here in the midlands at the moment.

[gingejbee]

....presumably, the first sighting should be SW to ESE? If SE, it'll be doing a U-turn!

[wendilla]

Yes Gingejbee my mistake . well spotted thanks.

[EDDIE51]

Looks hopeful here in Herts, 20% cloud cover so far but building up.

[Baldric]

Thanks.

[wendilla]

Just checked Gingejbee I did put ESE.

[wendilla]

CORRECT TIME IS 9 40 SSE DEPARTING ESE

[wendilla]

JUST REALISED IT WAS THE APPROACH TIME I PUT WRONG

[gingejbee]

Sorry, wendilla...but isn't that going back (more or less) the way it came ? Never seen that before!

The time and directions are taken off the nasa site . Never had any problems before with the directions in the 6 years I have been posting these times .

[boxtops]

We're very clear tonight, wendilla, but the SE trajectories aren't good for us - our best sightings are W to E references, which goes diagonally across our skies.

[jakep]

Thank you once again wendilla. We saw the 9.40 very clearly from the SE.
Strange that my husband and I get so much pleasure from watching a bright light hurtle across the sky x

[wendilla]

Same here jakep I have been watching it for about 9 years and still fascinated by it . We miss the double flyovers when the shuttles use to go up but can sometimes get a view of the cargo ships bringing the food ect .when skies are really clear .
