Really easy to see tonight.

Do you remember back in the day when we put fims in cameras and had flash cubes 😁

I am sure I am not the only one who has half fuzzy photos in my albums 😁

Now with a cheap mobile phone we can take photos like this and without effort.

Sometime around the early 2000s perhaps, id just set out on my normal rise route, a mile or two in, something like that passed straight overhead. Really quite big, fast, not very high in the sky and at a shallow angle. There...and gone !!!
I always wondered, 10, 20 miles away perhaps in the Fens, it must have come to ground.
Once in a lifetime sight ?

Never looked at Jupiter through binoculars but through a bird scope I can see the moons. It blew me away the first time...
