Alan Cutler (Adge) - Dorset AO Posted December 2, 2019 Posted December 2, 2019 Thanks for heads up. Just had good view down in "Sunny" Somerset Quote
Marcus Barlow - Show and Events Co-ordinator Posted December 3, 2019 Posted December 3, 2019 Getting some good pass overs atm, just passed lovely clear sky dropped out of light just after the half moon, I phone not good at autofocus 😂 1 Quote
Andrew Posted December 3, 2019 Author Posted December 3, 2019 I had another attempt at a pic.. I think the camera has focussed on the foliage in the foreground.. it's a bit fuzzy. 1 Quote
Marcus Barlow - Show and Events Co-ordinator Posted December 3, 2019 Posted December 3, 2019 ISS was close to moon tonight which was too bright - think I might have to try/attempt the dslr on a tripod/ long exposure for next pass Quote

Something wrong making it fuzzy though. Quote
Marcus Barlow - Show and Events Co-ordinator Posted March 27, 2020 Posted March 27, 2020 Some good pass overs to spot next few days and with nothing else to do why not! 2 tonight one just gone next at 21:17 here is my app screenshot of the moon, Venus and ISS along with my actual action shot 😎 2 Quote
Julie Hall - WSCC AO Representative Posted March 27, 2020 Posted March 27, 2020 saw the 21:17 one, thanks for that 👍 Quote
John Dolan - Wirral & North Wales AO Posted March 27, 2020 Posted March 27, 2020 Self isolation, taken to a new level. Fantastic to see. The grandkids saw it on Christmas eve a few years ago, magical. They still believe, and so do I. Quote
Marcus Barlow - Show and Events Co-ordinator Posted March 27, 2020 Posted March 27, 2020 Next passes... Quote
Labrat Posted March 28, 2020 Posted March 28, 2020 Was out with our little one watching the Starlink satellites going over and topped it off with ISS. It is quite surreal watching a series of satellites go through the telescope view one after another. We also found M81. Quote
Andrew Posted April 20, 2020 Author Posted April 20, 2020 Starlink satelites are due over just before 10pm according to BBC weatherman. Not seen them before so I'm going to start scanning skywards about 9-55 🤓 Quote
John Dolan - Wirral & North Wales AO Posted April 20, 2020 Posted April 20, 2020 Getting ready, sky is clear. Quote

Andrew Posted April 20, 2020 Author Posted April 20, 2020 Well I looked and looked.. saw a few satellites all following the same track.. but not particularly close together? Not sure if that was them or not. Quote
