Actually this was the middle of 3 images. The first one had the approach but it's just as well that I cut it short - the ISS wasn't visible... the bright western sky had overwhelmed it. The last one didn't show the ISS either, as it was starting to fade into eclipse, so I didn't have enough aperture. Such is life.

PS BTW it was a 76.52s exposure.
i watched it
