What a night

It was one of those nights tonight. Had all the neighbours looking at the comet tonight down here, the sky was clear and steady and the comet stood out clearly with the tail stretching some 15-20 degrees. Whilst they were looking, the ISS made a brilliant pass overhead, that bought out some ooh's and ar's, almost immediately there was an Iridium flare which most of them saw followed by a further 3 satelite passes followed by another Iridium flare.

Everyone completely enjoyed the experience, they still havn't stopped talking about it.

One of those nights.

I had the impression that the tail was brighter than last night.

Cheers
