Thanks to Higgins Storm Chasing for this link.  Excellent forecasts and interesting stuff.  Great bunch of people.

Anyone else have some interesting Sky Watching sites?

Funny you should post this today - just this morning my 6yo son and I were heading out the door to drive to Brisbane and he said "Dad is that a shooting star?" - it was the ISS, heading north. Surprisingly big and bright too.

Never again wonder "is that a star or a planet?" Just hold your phone up to the sky and find out.

I use the Night Sky App on the iPad.

Hold it up at the sky and it tells you what all the constellations are.

You do get a sore neck after a while.
