Hi all,
There was a relatively bright (mag 2.3) pass of the "secret" X-37B spaceplane over Brisbane at 6:08 pm this evening. It's only the second time I've seen it, and it was bright enough to easily capture this time. This image is a 10 second exposure with my 70-300mm telephoto at 70mm, as the X-37B was passing through Virgo.
Interesting write-up on the X-37B here:

Cheers,
Stephen
