wendi. I so wish I could see it, I always seem to miss it
Do you mean time wise bobbi or you just can't see it???
Bobbi - you need to be sure of the incoming direction, that's how I missed it at first - this time, by Wendilla's direction, coming from West South West so coming from the Lake District towards you, high up and bright. Dead straight line. Going straight across out over the north sea.
We have a very red sky here in Lancashire, which as you know, means one thing,
Red sky at night, shepherds delight
Red sky in a morning
Birkenhead's on fire

Bobbi a tip for you to help, If you don't see the planets out you won't see the Spacestation and if you look in the direction where the sun sets you will spot it. It will always come in approx the same direction maybe a bit further to the left or right . This is the best I can explain it .Once you have seen it you will have an idea where to look each time. I have seen it for over 3 years now so I spot it straight away .Good luck.
It just glows constantly as it passes.....If it's flashing you are watching the wrong thing.!

That's right Alavahalf it does NOT blink. I have just looked out and here in Leics it is clear skies and planets all on view.First time this week sky has been clear here.
Saw both over FOD, a bit cloudy but ok, Thanks Wendilla
Thank you Wendilla, perfect clear sky for me so great view and saw the supply rocket in front of it.
Super view tonight, thank you wendilla!!
Amazing Wendilla. So bright and travelling pretty fast, directly overhead.
I always sneak out to have a peak -- well worth it , many thanks for info

Super view here in Leics. Tomorrows view is 10 14 pm for 3 mins. w to ese
One of the best views ever on Salisbury Plain, and directly overhead.
Oh wow, I've just seen it thanks to Abers mentioning it, thank you so much. Flew straight over our garden, bright white light, not flashing so I knew it was it. Thank you again for keeping us informed.

dammmmm!!!
missed it again
I blame Paul O'Grady
but thanks Wendi, maybe next time I hope x
I was all ready to sit in the garden with a beer and watch it ...we have absolutely clear skies once again.
I've only gone and missed it because I was concentrating on the crisps thread... gutted.
Have now set my alarm and will watch it at 23.25 ... suppose I will have to open another beer.!
To be able to see it you have to be looking up.
