Got it!
I went outside at about 6:43 last night to catch a -1 at about 6:45. We were looking into the sky for a minute or so but couldn't find anything, then my daughter said "is that it?" I could tell it wasn't a plane as it wasn't blinking and was going at a bit of a pace across the sky. I guess it lasted about 30 seconds as it traversed from about directly overhead, heading almost due north (as predicted). Just before it would have gone behind the neighbours roof it was snuffed out, it must have dropped behind the Earths shadow.
So now I am getting ready for the -8 on Tuesday night around the same time. I may try setting up the video camera to see if I can catch it.
Watch this space!
