If you look closely you might spot one or two satellites If I removed frames without satellites I would have had no frames.

This should be a great target for early morning at Winchester as long as we don't stay in the bar too late!

Good idea Nick. We'll be up late anyway on Friday. Artemis II splashdown due at 1.21 am!

We'll need to scout out somewhere which has a very low eastern horizon with no lights. The current weather forecast looks a bit rubbish too.
