There were sightings. But it stopped around midnight. I didn't even have a 
look, because I thought it would mostly be visible in the morning. It would be 
very hard to see anyway, because of the light polution in the middle of the 
town where I live...

You are even more south then me, so it would be more rare to be able to see it 
in your location. But you probably don't have light polution like me...


Bye, Wilfred.
