anybody watching it tonight?
Me and Mrs Jambo went to a local viewing spot and watched at about 9:30 > 10:30pm saw 4 of them, one of them was huge too  all over in a split second but so so cool
shes too tired to stay out late but was fun watching 
p.s conertibles are awesome for star gazing seats reclined and heated

Went out last night but didn't manage to see any due to the number of lights round me.
Pretty sure I saw the space station though

Get away from towns. Towns create light, light = harder to see into the night sky.
Go right out into the countryside, well away from any towns or light, and you cna actually see our Milky Way belt 
Most busiest action "SHOULD" be tonight, busiest being early morning before sunrise, but you should get to see some tonight before beddie bies

So no.

I might try and have a watch tonight. Two problems though, it's overcast and I'd need to find somewhere dark
