Not really no, but she does want to see it. See is however very easily bored.
Is there anything else that could occupy her time in the dark in the middle of nowhere while you stare up at the sky?

It's a shame this thread got moved from the Lounge where I posted it as I think the phenomena deserved a wider audience, although maybe it would have been swamped/lost in there.
I knew very little, but thanks to the contributors here I now know a lot more smile
For instance, I never knew you could see satellites and the ISS, we went out on Weds and saw these and a few Meteors, but sadly not many. We had to come in due to neck ache in the end. rolleyes
May be better organised next time with an airbed/sun lounger or something idea
