Last night I photographed the International Space Station for the first time, also picked up a few meteors(which I couldn't see with my own eyes, clever camera! clap)

Unfortunately there is a bit of light pollution but otherwise, pretty happy with the results! Will go somewhere darker next time.

Good job. I've photograph the space station a few times, including through my telescope. On the telescope shots you can just about see the solar panels.

The long exposure ones are a challenge, because you do rather end up with just a straight line of white. Next time I photograph it I'm going to try and include some foreground, perhaps painting it with a torch during the 1 minute exposure.

Which is exactly what I just did about an hour ago! Lit up a monument and got the ISS! smile:
