I know this isn't a huge deal, but I'm pretty excited about it. We had an excellent fly over of the ISS tonight. It came after complete sunset and before it entered earth's shadow. These are both 59 sec. exposures at ISO 200, 18mm, F/3.5. The first is the ISS rising from the South West. The second is descending into the North East. I made the mistake of thinking it had already gone behind that tree in the second photo and I stopped the exposure. The first one was taken over the Pacific Ocean so there was no light pollution. The second one was taken over city lights.

LOL. We live at and manage a storage facility. I'm not doing astrophotography from behind prison walls. :)
