  1. The ISS or Zarya passes can be found on many websites, search for 'ISS passes' many results will follow.

    A couple of links below will help you out on when it will pass:

    On the 2nd September 2010 the ISS passed very high (and bright) from my location, took iso from 1600 to 800 on first image - used Canon 350d with Sigma 10-20mm wide angle lens, tripod and remote shutter. Images below:

  2. Evening all,

    Iam still firmly in the club! Due to work i ended up driving 'away' from the storms on Tuesday!!

    Becoming desperate now so iam watching this live video stream of a storm in Palermo, Sicily, plenty of lightning!!

    A few ads will come up at start of the feed but its fine after that and is a big link:

  3. Hello.

    Sorry for not being around much. (Iam like a storm in the UK - rarely seen)

    In my absence i give another glimmer of hope to us still in the no storms club!

    From the 20th Aug. onwards i will be on a little island just west of Africa for 12 days, at least it will be warm there!

    Good Luck :cold:

  4. Hello.

    Within 20 mins the patio has dried up again from light drizzle! Nothing to note apart from some unstable cloud on and off midday onward. A few months ago i heard one rumble of thunder and saw 2/3 flashes of lightning, during the early hours. Prior to that i cant remember the last storm that passed here. Can i join the club?

    All is not lost - I attach some hope, two images, tomorrow 18z and Thursday 18z gfs:

  5. I have the day off work, full tank of fuel too! Batts all charged for storm chase equipment.

    Treated to mammatus cloud when i got back from work at around 17:00 today.

    Took using my phone cam (Vivaz) edited in picasa with less brightness and 'resized' so it don't blow the borders!

    ------

    Had more snow about 2 hours ago, gave another dusting to areas that had cleared by the sun and grit etc..

    -3.2°C outside, well above the past two nights outside temps.

    (Anyone want a BBQ?) :clap:
