Decided to get the camera out tonight for this passover of the International Space Station, as it was a relatively bright pass, at magnitude -2.0. Pretty happy with the photo, although any ideas on how to remove the antenna at the bottom and still maintain integrity in the image? :lol::P

Details:
Canon EOS 400D
85s exposure at F/5.6 ISO: 800
Using the kit lens, 18-55mm at 18mm

mmm, that was a pretty ordinary, frantic, randomly chaotic link (did it cause that pop up?).

OK, I get it, clicking zoomed, umm, the white line dissappears behind the roof, the antanea didnt effect it really. mmm........

Ok not really sure what's going on, so I've put an alternate link to the image in the first post, and also added a render, hope they both work okay..

Seems to work okay for me! Nice shot, I always love seeing the ISS overhead.

For 85 seconds at f/5.6 I'd probably go with ISO 400 though myself.

Wow, I'm amazed...I click both links and I see zero advertising :doh:I assume this was from the Imageshack link? If so, I know where not to upload pics in the future..:rolleyes: Is the alternate link okay? Hope it is, glad you liked the pic.

Also, yes ISO of 400 would have been better, but I wasn't sure how long exposure I wanted until it actually started coming over, so I played it safe and left it on 800..
