Here we go again, 6th attempt at launch tonight 11.03 Irish time.

Weather not bad here for tonight, we should spot Shuttle and Booster tank between 11.20 and 11.25 in Southern skies coming from West to East.

See Nasa TV online for live launch

Hi All,

The delay in Launching Shuttle tonight should suit Ireland, weather might be clearer tomorrow night / Mon morning.

Watch Shuttle launch 12.13am on Nasa TV online then if skies are clear we should see it about 18 mins later.

I'm in Kilcullen Co. Kildare and I caught it coming West to East in the Southern skies so basically look South and look to your right.

PS I'll be just back from Oxegen so if I do catch it this time the camera may be even more wobbly

i filmed this last time and I live in west cork I used my crapcam though and It was crap. I hope that the weather is good tomorrow night and I'll try again with a slightly better camera

Thanks for posting this - am hoping to see something similar myself this Saturday coming from a few miles outside Sligo.

Do you happen to know by any chance the direction of travel or area of sky we should be watching?

I'm guessing it'll be coming from west or north. What did you experience when you filmed this?

Thanks again.
