Yep. The licence on its' own tends only to be useful when rolled up as a megaphone.

unfortunately you can't see it tonight it's on a slightly different course but it passed over head coming from the South West the past 2 nights and looked like a very bright star but was moving, it took about 3 minutes from the point i spotted it until it went out of sight around the back of the house (i was stood in the garden)

EDIT: Thanks for the link Debs i couldn't remember the name of that site
