Great report Steve. Wednesday night was pretty epic as well. I don't actually mind the 90+ minute journey from Blackpool because at least it's all main roads. Going to the Ribblehead Viaduct is a bit quicker, but it's a pain in the Bottom to get there with the winding roads, and it's not as dark.

Funny how, despite being in the original image, neither of the Magellanic Clouds are listed. Nor 47 Tucanae for that measure.

Of course they are as they are, just not listed.

The Brian Cox effect is what made me become mad keen on all things astronomy. I was 41 years old when the first BBC Stargazing Live show aired and that was the tipping point from having just a passing interest to being a full on stargazer. I had also watched the 'Wonders' series & pretty much anything else astro related although I rarely watched The Sky at Night back then.

A great inspiration to me and many others. RIP Sir Patrick.

UFO for definite. I wish I had seen it.

They are watching us.........
