Hi all,

For the first time in quite a while we had a good ISS pass in clear skies! Here's a quick shot of it entering the shadow (made by combining several 8 sec exposures using the Startrails program.) Nothing too flash, but it was good to see it again.

Cheers,
Stephen

Good one Stephen:thumbsup: it was fun to watch it in the binoculars go from A very bright white light, to Gold then to a very deep Red before disappearing.
I only remembered it at the last moment so I had no time to set up a camera:( but it was good to just watch in a clear sky for a change:)

Thanks Ron.

We had guests over for dinner, so I didn't get much time to set up either - hence the TV antenna and powerlines in the foreground! But like you said, it was nice to see it in clear skies for a change!

Cheers,
Stephen
