Another opportunity to see the ISS in mid-twilight from the NW but this pass was high and it went past Mars in the SE

NGC7243 (Open Cluster, in Lacerta, Est. RaDec 22h15m +50)
Observer: Thomas Godfrey (e-mail: choccy_bourbon@hotmail.com)
Instrument: 50-mm binoculars   Location: Norwich, Norfolk, England
Light pollution: moderate   Transparency: excellent   Seeing: good
Time: Sun Oct 29 00:23:00 2000 UT   Obs. no.: 593

Suprisngly good open cluster in the Lizard and is better than many of the more famous Cass. clusters. With my binos some stars could be resolved with averted vision and the whole cluster seemed 'L' shaped. According to the Cambridge star atlas, this cluster only contains 40 stars so perhaps it is telescopically a poor cluster. Worth a look with some binos though!
