ISS and Orion

[iceman]

This was taken this morning, about 5:17am with a very bright ISS pass right overhead.

As it went into the NE sky, it passed between Orion and Taurus.

Unfortunately I wasn't prepared (only remembered at the last minute) so didn't get time to focus properly :(

42s exposure @ ISO800 with the Canon 350D on a fixed tripod.

Nice work Mike; shame about the focus but gee, the ISS looks bright!

Cheers

Not too bad considering it was nearly no image at all!;)

Dropping the image size has no doubt helped to make the image more acceptable (wrt focus).

Good work, Mike. Thanks for posting.

Nice one Mike.

I had a pleasant surprise the other morning when I saw M45, Taurus and Orion peaking up over the tree line.

Always exciting to see their return.
