Well caught.

Please bear in mind, to anyone clicking that link, the predictions will be accurate for the particular observing sight and the times can vary by several minutes across the UK. If you want to give this a go, your best bet is to register for you own ID on heavens above and define your own location, this will provide more accurate pass information.

i also believe if you can also see the tool bag as a little spot ahead of the trail as well.

I think i saw both tonight at about 5.50 pm tonight over the river mersey.
the problem is if you stop and ask a fisher man they will think your an absolute loon !!!

Anyway along the river mersey at approx 5.45 in the southern sky !!.
