ISS and STS-119 passing between Crux and eta Carina

Hi all,

Here's a quick shot of the ISS with docked shuttle passing over Brisbane this morning. The predicted mag on Heavens Above was -1.2 but it looked brighter than that. Maybe H A did not take into account the brightness of the attached shuttle? Anyway, it was an impressive sight! This is a 15 sec exposure using the K100D and 70-300mm telephoto at f/5.6 and 400 iso.

Cheers,
Stephen
