Here’s the HST pass from Brisbane tonight, 17th Jan 2013 at 7:39pm AEST (UT+10). The image is a composite of 2 x 30 sec exposures with a Canon 40D and 50mm F1.4 at 400ASA and F5.6.

I didn’t have noise reduction enabled, so there are a couple of hot pixels scattered throughout the frame.:)

Cheers

Really nice photo Dennis. Saw this pass with the family from Scarborough. The parallax effect is very clear when you can compare it with a photo from another area. We saw the HST pass a lot closer to Orion's belt. Just before it started to dim one of the solar panels must have caught the sunlight and it became quite bright for a few seconds.
