Thanks for the heads up bloodhound31! I'd never seen it before and wasn't prepared for just how fast or how bright it was. Even with the moon trying to dominate the sky it was fantastic.
I used the charts to see where it would be, worked out the framing for a photograph and got the camera all set up for it. When I started setting up it was lightly raining (in a cloudless sky, 10min later the clouds showed up), but the sky was fine and clear for the event and I caught it in three shots (13sec exposures so it probably too maybe 20-25sec to cross the field of view of a 50mm lens on a cropped sensor DSLR). Crossed lengthways across the photos where I was hoping, will have to process them this weekend.
Thanks again, that was awesome! I was expecting a slower moving fainter dot.
