well, looking at the satellite image over the past 12 hours, it looks like a cloud bank will be hitting us in the next few hours from the west, what do you think ???

Doh ! Just got some videos out and opened a bottle of wine. The weather looks a bit iffy and it won't be dark until after 11.30pm or so. Think I will stay at home and get gently toasted 8)

Well the cloud held off. I can confirm this not just
By looking at the sat images but coz I was awake until 4:30.
I can also confirm, no NLC's , no moon, the iss is still there, so is Jupiter
And the view from the Nw to East from babys room
Is unobstructed.

:wink:
