Default Space Station Spotting

There is a good opportunity to see the Space Station travelling across the sky for those in the UK on Thursday evening.
A bright white light with no flashing navigation lights travelling swiftly across the sky.
Camera set on a tripod, B setting and a wide aperture set to infinity should get a reasonable shot of its path.
Look at the following link for times and directions to look at.

https://spotthestation.nasa.gov/tracking_map.cfm

Click on the yellow box and the map should appear.
then hold your mouse pointer left hand button to move the map to the uk.
Click the nearest blue location pointer and you should find the table for viewing from that location.
Times and directions.
All in laymans terms.
Good Luck and hope it is cloud free with no rain.

Cheers.

Reminds me of the late Sir Patrick Moore.
Whenever there was something worth seeing he would usually come out with his "Unfortunately we were clouded out again at Selsey."
Plenty of other opportunities throughout the year.
Cheers.

I remember a Christmas Eve or two ago, when it was announced where to look for it. It was great telling the kids it was Father Chrimbo out doing his deliveries.
