ISS passing Crux and the Pointers this evening

[StephenM]

Hi all,

Here's the International Space Station passing near the Southern Cross this evening. Predicted mag was -3.7. This image is several 8 sec exposures combined using DSS.

Anyone else catch it?

Cheers,
Stephen

A very interesting photo. I like the "dotted line". You must be able to derive some sort of conclusion from the length of the lines relative to 8 secs to calculate distance, orbital velocity, and path etc
