Thanks, I love looking for stuff like this, and I'd love at sometime to travel further north to see it properly.

Unfortunately I think the weather is against us around here for the next few days.   I note there's also quite a lot of near earth asteroids due over the same few days.

It said on the TV weather it should be a good night tonight to see it, Yes I noticed the NEO of some 358283 miles away so I think we will be ok.
We had a thunderstorm at 2AM last night  :'(

Checking the weather forecasts, it looks like parts of the South/Central UK & even up to Cheshire may get chance of some clear skies.

Unfortunately around here, according to the beeb, aside from a possible break at about 3am all we have to look forward to is rain and cloud.  :(
