I saw a very bright satellite this morning. It was easily the brightest I have seen. It was about 4:30am and I was outside staring up at the sky (as is my wont) and I first saw it from the corner of my eye due to the light. It passed over heading vaguely north and I watched it for its entire crossing of the arc.
I looked it up on REAL TIME SATELLITE TRACKING and it was the ISS (ZARYA) - or from memory it was. I neglected to write it down. I'm no anorak wearing satellite spotter!
I was in my dressing gown.
The other morning I had my telescope out for the first time in ages. I had it pointed at Mars and stared at its disc for sometime thinking, "Wow! I wish I had a better telescope!".
