Photo's from hackday will be uploaded as soon as I can muster the energy to crop the snaps. Also feedback from listener Paul (in Shropshire) who writes of the visibility of the International Space Station and web efforts to track it:

...The ISS (space station) is not very location-specific - there is no 'mirror' effect - you can see it easily whenever it's above the horizon. Iridium flares are *very* location-specific - they do show the mirror effect and being in the wrong place by a mile or two can make all the difference between a hugely bright flare and almost invisible.Better to stick to the horse's mouth at https://www.heavens-above.com/ ..

.As Billy Bragg once sang, "I saw two shooting stars last night...I wished on them but they were only satellites..." clearly he'd been hoping for the ISS
