Back from the common, unarrested, an object of some curiosity for late evening dog walkers and target practice by several pipistrelles...
Great view, though I was surprised not to see it earlier - was about 60deg above the horizon but once spotted had it in sight for several minutes. A friend phoned me from a nearby park with his two very excited small children, they are now very interested in all things space. However, stopped at my mum's for a cuppa on the way back home - she seemed unimpressed!
Have to say I watched it through the bins (20x50) but couldn't distinguish much more than a bright light. Maybe you need to be away from all light-pollution to get a really good view?
Couldn't see the second pass walking back just now, the street lights are just too darn much.
Edit: just seen G-ALHI's post, yes, I planned to give them your nom-de-PPRuNe for bail purposes if I'd had me collar felt...!
Cheers all,
Treadders
