I've not seen it but we've had murky skies. If it's clear there's little light pollution where I live and I shall get my phone ap to track it and have a look.

Thanks for sharing this, appreciated.

rolling on the floor laughing rolling on the floor laughing No probs....you know that I am a nerd anyway, so I thought I would post this on so others may get a glimpse of it.

If you haven't tried it, using binoculars to view the stars is amazing!! It is MUCH better than just with the naked eye. peace

Ditto....and Ditto with the neighbours too! laugh Well, I guess standing in your garden at 11.30pm looking up at the sky with a pair of binoculars does look a bit weird!! laugh

Lots of bats flying around and 3 stars, but as yet, no comet. It's about 50% cloud cover and 50% almost blue sky!! I am at 56.5 degrees north here, so it gets dark really late! doh nerd typing

I've just come back indoors.....the seagull nesting on the neighbours roof got suspicious and decided to swoop by me.
Still can't see the comet.....not sure if I'll risk going out again,that gull has friends...uncertain
