INTERNATIONAL SPACE STATION TONIGHT 2017

Give Mr Namaste my apologies about thinking the "Star" he saw at around 10.30pm to the West that night was Arcturus. In fact, I'm pretty sure now, [I have really clear skies tonight], that it wasn't a Star that Mr Namaste saw but the planet Jupiter. Venus is sitting just to the left of Jupiter but although bright it is the dimmer of the two.

 

Hi Jenny, again my apologies, Bilbo is correct. You'll have to excuse my errors, old age and having a "running ragged" period of visiting guests, a recall back to the "project", trying to get some viewing of the skies in so going to bed around 3am and up at 6am is my excuse. Again, my apologies for not knowing my left from my right.

 

Thanks, Jenny. I was planning another late night/early morning with the scope but after today's antics in the garden and the fact that the skies are completely cloud covered I'll be in bed for just after midnight.

I had a word with NASA about you being unhappy with the timing of the sightings and they did their best to please you.
