Description:

We had clouds since Lovejoy was visible in the Southern Hemosphere. This morning had clear skies for the first time and I went 30km out into the contryside to avoid the city lights. I could see the amazing tail since I got to my spot at 02:45 (UT+2) though the head was still under the horizon. The ISS passed overhead from WNW but only became visible at 03:12 as it went down SE.
