ISS- a fisheye view

Gave the fisheye lens a go at capturing tonight's ISS (-2 mag) passover.
This is a 194 sec exp (3.2 min) capturing the complete horizon to horizon event.

It was a magnificent sight and I had the whole family out enjoying the clear skies while I was taking the image.

I just set up the camera pointing directly up and waited.
My wife first spotted it coming over from the N.W so I clicked the long exp button and enjoyed the show with the kids while answering all their questions.

I love how the LMC and SMC stand out so beautifully.

The only disappointment is that the lens must have been bumped slightly and focus is a tad soft.

Hope you enjoy.
