Loved it. 1/2 way through it just vanished. Can't believe how bright it is.

Tonight's sighting is at an earlier time of about 8:10pm which will still only be dusk. I wonder if this would help or hinder it's appearance. Unbelievably there's no clouds in Lincolnshire sky for about the 5th day running!!! :thumb:

Saw it a few evenings go, not long after 8pm with no problem. Nice high trajectory tonight, so'll be going through the dark part of the sky.
