Any astronomers on here?

[whitelion]

Was walking home from West Worthing to Southwick early doors and around dawn 5.30 ish a really bright object became visible in the southern sky. It was obviously there all along but as I was fairly shattered didn't notice it until the sun started to throw it's light on it.

Any ideas what planet I was seeing?

International Space Station innit.

International Space Station visible tonight?

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Venus has been very, very bright in the morning south-east sky recently, can't be sure it's still there. I didn't notice this morning as it's now getting light when I'm at Shoreham station at 6:10 in the mornings. If you have a smartphone use google sky.

No it was a planet. A stationary object.

Tricky Dicky is probably right. Venus - ta.

I'm tempted by a (doggin') trip up Truleigh Hill tonight with my bino-cu-lars, I might try and take some pictures should by trusty camera allow me!

I saw the ISS last night.

If you have a smart phone - you can download Star Chart Lite and point it in the direction of the object that puzzles you. Not 100% accurate, but useful noetheless.

Oh, ok.

Space station due over at 19.22 tonight anyway. Looks like it will be clear skies, well worth a gander.

Pretty sure I saw it last night but was a bit puzzled as there seemed to be two objects travelling at same speed. Thought one might have been a plane but my sister in York said she saw the same two objects. I am puzzled.

Shuttle first then the ISS after, both travelling in the same direction close to each other

 

[Digweeds Trousers]

All wrong.

It was in fact the GRt345YYT23 / A.

Next time it comes into view is in 4512.

FACT

west worthing to southwick ....f*** sake...!!!! ( ACID..?)

 

[Tricky Dicky]

Its jupiter.

Haven't checked for a couple of weeks, but Jupiter and Saturn were recently in the evening sky - I may be wrong, but I doubt it was either of them.

Thanks Marc. Saw that on the ISS thread after I posted.

No - couldn't sleep so walking was the best option.

 

[Daffy Duck]

Maybe it's one of these?
