Thumbs up

According to Teletext in Spain, tonight was the last night visible ( I think in Northern hemisphere as opposed to Spain) I guess they mean from ground level maybe OK from F370? In any case, I had an excellent view from 1800-1900 local down here in Girona with my trusty old 8x30 bins. Initially I thought it was just a planet, but once I had found something to lean on and stabilise myself the trail was clearly visible sure enough in 1 - 2 o'clock position.They claimed it was now invisible for next 4 nights then becoming visible in Southern hemisphere but if it's a nice sunset again tomorrow I'll be out again just in case. It wasn't half bright though.
