You've been able to see it all summer. Tonight won't be much better than last week. All you need is binoculars.

Not sure about the time. Look for the brightest thing in the sky as soon as dark fall. Try the eastern sky, I not sure where in the sky its gonna be. Also, Try looking at venus, with my telescope i can see the cloud bands on it.Originally posted by Super-Supra
I don't know? 11.00? 12am?
Yea no kidding, buts its just slight hazy here, can see stars fine. I just hope we get another blackout so the ghetto of Springfield will go dark and darken up the sky.Originally posted by Roo
And, as with every astronomical event of the last decade or so, there is complete cloud cover in Engalnd.
