HST over Brisbane this morning

Hi all,

I noticed on Heavens Above that there are some relatively bright Hubble Space Telescope passes over Brisbane for the next few days, so I had a go at imaging it this morning. Today's pass was predicted to be mag 1.5, starting at 4:54am. The result is attached - both the original image (30 sec exposure, f/5.6, 800 iso, lens at 23mm, using K100D) and an adjusted version. It's harder to image than the ISS because of the lower brightness and the speed at which it moves (and the full moon didn't help). Still, I'm happy to have captured it.

Cheers,
Stephen
