went out for a look at ISS last night coming over at 9.04 for 5 mins so the NASA website said, had my 17x80 bins out what i thought was ISS, blumming Chinese lantern!! DOH, anyway did manage to get the correct object now heading east, very bright and in low orbit. Had a quick peek at Saturn with my scope out, now heading in to south, not much out at 9.30pm. Was hoping for the Lyrids but looks like i have missed them yet again, been cloudy here in York most nights, and foggy haze in early hours.

Chinese lanterns, yes a pain, gave me a fright first time I seen one, thought it was a plane on fire. With no wind it had got quite high and running in to get SWMBO we both looked and wondered untill she said look, and there rising a few houses down was the damn things, hate them :).
