Just caught the HST heading from WNW to E, the brightest I have seen it in a long time and gave a beautiful Flair just level with Orion:eyepop: time 19:49-19:53
I was not expecting it as I had just stepped outside to see what the clouds where doing:rolleyes:

Observed in my 7x35 Bino's :thumbsup:
Cheers

HST? Excuse me, probably something obvious I will think of in a minute, but all the same, care to explain?
