catman161 Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 If it stays clear I will definitely have a go. Need to find out times etc. I think I saw something in sky at night mag detailing it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Mark Payton Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 (edited) Mine is chilling nicely. Its really noisy, my house backs on to a wood and the noise the wind is making through the trees is incredible.

Guest Fluke Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 Gone very cloudy here now and the gusts have picked up a bit again. About 25 mins ago I was centreing on Capella getting it nice as sharp when I saw a very faint white light move fairly fast from top right to middle centre. I quickly look up into that region of the sky but couldn't see anything. About half a min later the same thing happened, appearing to travel on a similar path. Any ideas what I might of saw? Perhaps just 2 very distant planes, or possibly satellites? My Scopes a Skymax 127. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 It's most likely to be space junk, small satellites, or even small metorites. I used to see loads of these through my 16". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest David Pugh Posted January 5, 2012 Share Posted January 5, 2012 gone cloudy. Everything setup, never mind curry is on it's way. Hopefully it will blow past by then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
