If you search the net there are also several websites that list times, directions, magnitudes and durations given you location. You can vaguely make out structure with high power binoculars but it is often to quick for most telescopes. By eye it is interesting to see such a bright light go across the sky.

Thanks Ribraider, I used to live in Bideford. I spotted the station tonight, not through the scope as it was too fast and Im too new and useless at tracking. Loved seeing it though. Saw the Orion Nebula for the first time too, my first nebula.
