WOW for tonight

Just come back in from almost an hour viewing the night sky :D Went out at 11.40 and back in at 12.35 Isnt it amazing how when you are enthralled with the sky the coldness disappears and the fact that you are standing on a lawn full of dew with slippers on means nothing. I dont know if there was a concert going on nearby but all i could hear the whole time was different kinds of music and also fireworks (didnt see any though but they certainly scared my cat who was also out with me).

My first attempt.

What a wonderful clear night it was here in south wales due to some very brisk easterly winds. I am very excited about all the things i saw tonight. Three main non star sightings were 1. Moon rising 2. Shooting Star (possible lyrid) 3. Unidentified sattalite. Also some new stars for me. I went out at about 12.30am Saw antares in the south for the 1st time ever! Moon rose about 10 seconds later though so off it went! Long lasting shooting star near vega always makes me smile. Strange sattalie
