Fiery’s outstanding in more ways than one. I have to excuse myself for an hour and a half or so. See you in a bit.

We had eleven participants. Tied for third place with seven votes are amej @8 and fiery @9. In second is jono @5 with eight. Spike had votes for five different clues. Our runaway winner with fourteen is geting @6:

''Psychic ability linked to Scottish island'', say counter-intelligence (9)

Your prizes (should you choose to accept them) are a half-century-old bit of goofiness and a highly compressed tutorial from a fast-talking Brit.

A few weeks ago the stargazers’ group on our island gathered in a blueberry field to watch the Perseids. Maine has the darkest skies east of the Mississippi and it’s especially dark out in the bay. The watch had had to be postponed because of fog so the meteor shower was hardly spectacular, but in the space of an hour I saw thirty or forty satellites; it really was an eye-opener. The next night I stepped out into our yard for ten minutes and through an opening in the clouds counted seven of them. Imagine.

Thanks to all for your inspired efforts.

Nice one Geting - well done! Thanks for the votes. Cheers Aristo - we had a lunar eclipse (blood moon) last week - sadly obscured by cloud where I am!
