Also do the directions posted here (SW and SSW if i remember correctly) refer to night time viewing as well? I'm assuming that will be the best time to see it. I know i will be out every night for a week trying to catch a glimpse

and you picked a fine time to join

go back through this post, and you will find the answers but basically from the 14th onwards it will get higher and also fade, lts hope it doesnt do the latter quickly
