Thumbs up Amazing Images of the International Space Station!

Ralf Vandebergh captures incredible images of the International Space Station, the Space Shuttle and other Earth-orbiting satellites. I’ve always been a huge fan of Ralf’s work. It inspires me to try and capture better images of the ISS.

Ralf doesn’t have a website though, and so it can be difficult to find his work scattered throughout the various forums and observing lists he contributes to.

So with Ralf’s permission, I wanted to showcase his amazing images and compile a collection of some of his best images of the International Space Station and Space Shuttle, including the first ever image of a space-walking astronaut captured from Earth!

Please click the link to see Ralf’s amazing photos, and to find out about the equipment he uses, how he captures these incredible images and to learn more about the man himself.

Amazing Images of the International Space Station

Thanks for looking.

He's certainly got that sorted out! What great work! Looks like a CG-5 mount too...
