Colour Changing Star

[Bigmallly]

Don't forget to tek your compass.............You want to be looking NNE...............

[Bigmallly]

It's now out in full glory...............

I really want to see this but I'm too lazy to get off the couch and drive to the top of the road. I'd walk but I'm in my jammies, athough that's not totally unheard of around these parts. Kinda just as well, they are blocking off roads here for some commonweath event tomorrow, knowing my luck I'd not get back in.

I just went outside to look, but it's hopeless I can just about make out Cassiopeia!

Its a bit cloudy here but I can see a twinkly star, NNE and low down. All the other stars I have to look up to, but not this one

That's the top of the severn bridge.

Have you got a smart phone bigmally? There's a brilliant ap Skyview . It names everything in the sky when u point your phone skywards. Pics up satellites and all sorts. ( has someone already mentioned this? Sorry if I'm repeating something!)
Hoping to have a look tonight.

[Bigmallly]

Cheers LG, Skyview is only for iPhone/iPad so I have downloaded Skymap...........will try it out tonight.

Just checking if anyone else has seen this star as it's flashing like a traffic light at the moment.

My Big Girl's Book of the Stars suggests that iti may be Capella - as Kirk initially thought. It is very bright and twinkly tonight and maybe a bit higher.

[mothhawk]

Ah, capella.....

[Bigmallly]

Where does time go?
I've just come in from getting a bit o' fresh air............and noticed Capella in all it's glory. Red, yellow, blue, green.............I can't believe it was almost a year to the day when I first noticed it.
