Venus was astonishing tonight.

Absolutely breathtaking. Am I colour blind, or was there a red tint around the edges?

Yes cloud spoiled that but Space Station on view WSW at here at 21.34 tonight

Check out the 60 Satellites and you will see what they look like. Its only worth looking once really and on a very clear night

Should be very bright and clear in about 10 mins.

Me and the Mrs went out tonight to have a look but we only saw three.

.... with the Lyrid Meteor shower 50 degrees (ish) in the north east as a sideshow as well

Tomorrow and Weds night will be prime time for the Meteors though

Last night was spectacular. I think there must have been a bit of haze round the horizon and cut the sunlight tonight.

I saw the Meteors in the Leeds Bierkeller in 1984 I think it was.. not the same shower as you’re discussing though.!

Just two for me too, I'll keep looking. Got a few meteorites though.

Nudga · « **Reply #39 on** April 21, 2020, 08:02:17 am by Nudga »

Only saw two. Tonight around 2101 there should be a long stream of them coming from west to east.

We only saw two as well. It was very cold here as well. The grandkids might have had a better view as they can see right across the Aire valley and less light pollution. We'll have another go tonight.

I saw about 15 or 16, and then gave up 'cos it was cold.

Donnywolf · « **Reply #42 on** April 21, 2020, 11:28:09 am by Donnywolf »

I got to 4 (Elon Musk Satellites) then called it a wrap beacuse it was b****y cold and when you have seen them before there is less appeal

I wouldnt have minded seeing a few Shooting Stars in the Lyrid event but thought the best is supposed to be tonight / tomorrow night so Im off on for a warm

Not Now Kato · « **Reply #43 on** April 21, 2020, 03:26:43 pm by Not Now Kato »

41 due tonight starting at 1 minute past 9.

Went out for 5 minutes at 21.01. Saw nothing. Came back in as it was too cold.

drfchound · « **Reply #45 on** April 21, 2020, 09:20:46 pm by drfchound »

Not really dark enough at 9.01 tonight.
Try again at 10.36 and also, if you can stand the chill, there will be loads of shooting stars.

idler · « **Reply #46 on** April 21, 2020, 09:21:15 pm by idler »

Me too, but keep nipping out every few minutes.

Nudga · « **Reply #47 on** April 21, 2020, 09:23:03 pm by Nudga »

We saw about 10 and then went inside.

Not Now Kato · « **Reply #48 on** April 21, 2020, 09:30:43 pm by Not Now Kato »

We saw 31 of them. Mostly they were evenly spaced apart, but 2 were quite close together. They seemed to be in 2 batches with a couple of stragglers at the end.

Yep saw loads, couple got some great flashes of sunlight reflecting. Also spotted the two close together which deviated too.
