Fair enough, bye then! 

Great space station shot Anton! 

Definitely sounds like it was a fireball to me, could be an earthgrazer.  What time did it take to cross your sky?  I didn't see anything here, has there been anything on local news I wonder...

Thanks Anton & John for your kind words    I just wish the cloud would break for long enough to get a decent spell of sun viewing in...

Sun is an angry turmoil at the moment - take a look if you can!

Nice image Anton!

Saw both of last nights passes from the pub beer garden - hoorah! 

Good capture anton! 

They look good to me

Thanks Richard and Anton.  Yes, looks like the weather may well be improving by the weekend, I hope so we're due it!

Here's a close up pick of what has been recently designated AR1271 as it came over the limb...

Lots of nice things to see on the sun today - no spots, but plenty of filaments and proms.  Hopefully the proms will hang around...

Well looks like this evening may clear up (still!), so will go for a look early doors before the moon interferes too much.  Typical dilemma here - I want to stay up late and look for Perseids, however first thing monday morning looks like it may well be clear for some solar observing for me; and would need to get up early for the solar rather than having a recovery lie in...   

Stunning!  I think we should all come over to yours for a party 

Lovely shots, lovely place! 

That's absolutely brilliant Anton!!!   

Well i've not seen a single perseid as of yet    Sunday night looks like it may be clear so will take a look then...
