That’s the badger! I was at work and have a shite camera anyway; wasn’t able to take a picture to better describe what I was seeing!
Cheers for telling me what it is!

Almost in a line. You definitely won’t see Uranus with the naked eye (grow up!) - and you need horizon-horizon visibility to catch then all, especially as Saturn will set soon, but it’s a heck of a procession.

Looks like it’s due to be solidly cloudy here for the next three days. Sods law.
Mercury and Saturn were already too low in the sky by the time I looked. Saw Venus, Jupiter, Uranus and Mars though - pretty cool.
Will try look earlier tomorrow night to catch the others. Problem is I’m near the bottom of a hill and there are lots of building around further up, so it’s hard to catch them.

Great that she’s got the travel bug.

Lunar eclipse coming along nicely although difficult to capture it with a phone.
It was. Fully obscured by heavy cloud now. 
Yes, the clouds knackered it here too. The cat kindly ran out the front (She doesn’t go out the front) So I was running down the street chasing her in my socks at 6:15am and disliking my life choices.

Clear sky and a 5-minute-lashup pinhole camera (literally - safety pin through foil off a yoghurt pot) confirm the rumours here

Well that was weird. It went noticeably quite chilly for a couple of minutes.
Didn’t see it directly, but the solar panel stats had about a 30% drop in output.
Despite the forecast suggesting 100% cloud cover here, it was completely clear.
The last one here was quite possible to photograph through light cloud, not so today and I don’t have any suitable filters, so a quick pinhole job was the only way I could watch it.
