Lovely view earlier tonight - and a 'mini' one is happening as I write. This one disappears over the Bristol channel.

Just watched the ISS sail right up the sky until it was almost directly overhead - then, over about 12-15 seconds, it slowly faded and died. Well, the Bristol Channel is only about 20-25 miles away.

It was quite dramatic, I have to say.

Saw the pass on the 12th that went straight over the Pizza Hut in Ipswich, very bright, just before closing time...

We've enjoyed some fantastic views here in SE Kent. Thank you as always for the heads up B&W

We went out and watched it last Tuesday here in NW Kent

Missed the first one tonight, but I've just had a good view as it sailed overhead a few minutes ago!

2100 tomorrow night - should be a great view. This weather's holding up well, isn't it?

Got a good view tonight until it was above the house then went into clouds.

Excellent view tonight - as it was passing just to the north of us.

Tomorrow there should be a good pass starting at 2148.

Yes another great viewing tonight very bright

I was there, still can't believe it. It was high, fast and bright for a few mins.

Well done @carieoates Glad you caught it at last I got the 2nd one last night, always an amazing sight

Slightly linked. Did anyone across the Atlantic catch the lunar eclipse? Not sure if it was Monday or Tuesday your time. Happened early hours of yesterday morning but not visible in the UK. I love all celestial stuff. Was lucky enough to see a great showing of the northern lights in Frbruary in Iceland.

Wow, Lil, that's brilliant.

Another ISS pass should start at 2148 and peak at 2153, before it disappears shortly afterwards over mid-France.

Saw this one, nice and bright but faded out just before it passed Mars (which is currently as close as it gets).

Was short and sweet tonight,
