    Look in the right direction!

    From west-south-west, crossing the sky to a height of about 60 degrees and dissapearing to the east in the space of about two mins - horizon to horizon.

    NASA TV is abit behind. Make sure to watch the real clock on the NASA website! Excellent viewing conditions here. Not as good as last night but should be grand.
