Thanks for the tip Geoff! Looks like it should be a clear night here, although living in town it doesn't get really dark.

What and go blind and then be attacked by giant mobile plants? No thanks!
Yeah, give the THC a bash instead.:)
No chance of seeing anything round here anyway, it's lit brighter than Las Vegas for some unknown reason. You have to go about half a mile up the road to get to a point where you can even see any stars.
There's a lot of light pollution here, but I still see shooting stars, satellites and the space station (it's quite bright).
yeah I've seen the space station pass here a couple of years ago, but we have a fair bit of light pollution round here, so couldn't tell if there was any astronauts waving. 14 years since I saw any shooting stars, that was while camping in Spain. I will look out for some later though.
You can't make out any of the Milky Way from here, but I visit the West Country regularly and it's easily seen from there. Looks like an amorphous band of cloud until your eyes adjust, then you can see that it's millions and millions of stars.
Just been outside for a while, but no luck. Mirror suggests laying on your back, but I may never get up again!
