International Space Station

Taken tonight in the garden. It goes over quite often, going to try and improve my technique for the next time!

Wow. Thats some image. Fancy noticing, you must have a serious stiff neck .

Great idea, really unusual. I suspect a print of this would look great.

This is how it's done




Thierry Legault's work, not mine I hasten to add.

For anyone who's interested in knowing the exact date time and location to spot the ISS (and many other objects) go here register, put in your location (longtitude/latitude) and look up the next appearance....which tonight (for my location) is this....

Rises above horizon. 21:16:10 0° 261° (W ) 2,145
Reaches 10° altitude. 21:18:09 10° 261° (W ) 1,308
Maximum altitude. 21:21:00 84° 251° (WSW) 353

Flares from Iridium satellites are especially worth viewing (watch one and you'll see what I mean!)
