    Yes, it was nice and clear here in Dublin. Tomorrow night won't be as good probably.

    As I said above, Wednesday night, at about 22:02. It will rise in the W and head towards the SSE. Looks a bit cloudy though.

    Think it takes almost the same WSW (perhaps a little more westerly) to South track as last night but is closer to us (480 miles) and at a higher elevation 23 degrees, so if it clears up a bit the view will be better.
    [edit] flukey beat me to it

    Thursday night at about 22:24, but it will be another low and short pass, not as good as some of the ones over the past week.

    After Thursday it won't be seen from Ireland again until the 18th of July through to the 1st of August. Put that into your diaries everyone. :)

    RonMexico, tonight's pass would have been low. Some aren't as good as others. It depends how close to Ireland it is passing.
