We saw it passing overhead when we were in Scotland a year or two ago. Visible with the naked eye, it was quite something to witness.

I have been using this one.

Set it up for your own region/town. It's amazing to see it with the naked eye and the details this site give you are absolutely spot on. If they were running a bus service I would highly recommend them. I agree it is a fascinating thing to see.

Dozy pirrock! It's the same site - just slightly different!!!
