Did anyone go for a night hike up Donard. I was bivving on the top of Bernagh and could see lights coming down Donard at about 11 or so. It was a good night for some star gazing, seen the space station, a satellite and a shooting star. :)

How can you tell what is the space station and what is a satellite?  The last time I was out looking at the sky there was something with lights that seemed to streak across the sky, it seemed every 20 minutes or so.  It wasn't Christmas Eve that I was out ;)

The space station is like a super bright star moving across the sky. Normal satellites aren’t that bright.
