Some clear spells in the south tonight, spent 30 mins but saw nothing so far but blurb says better after midnight so I will take another look later. SWMBO reckons she saw one faint one.

Unbelievably mild out, 14 degrees here on the south coast.

Jupiter very bright tonight with all 4 moons easily seen with binoculars.

Dog went out side for a wee around 2.30am when I went to bed so I snapped this with the phone..according to StarWalk the bright one in the middle is Jupiter.

Not the greatest shot in the world, but 10 years ago considering taking a night shot with a mobile phone was not even thinkable.



oh, didnt see a single leonid thingy either
